I don't get it, so anybody that makes more than 50k is rich, anybody below is poor? You say that is "by definition", never heard of that definition before....
Now the story isn't exactly breaking news; it's like having an article saying that most XXL expensive jackets are bought by rich male...
Watse of an article, waste of a post...
I'm a college-educated black woman who has always been an early adopter. Been comfortable, been struggling, been average, never been rich.
Tech and books are what I spend my money on, whatever my income level.
Yes, men are more likely to be early adopters, but that's an overblown stereotype. Perpetuated by MR posters as well.

I, too, am a rich black man who will soon own an iPhone 6.
Theory double debunked.
I guess "rich" is subjective and relative to the individual. There's millionaires who dont consider themselves "rich" because they're conscious of billionaires.
I read a couple years ago that if you made 75k you made more than 70% of the population.
Only 2% of the population makes more than 250k
More than 1/3 of the pop makes 34k or less
and 76% of the population has less than 1,000 saved.
So if you're making 75k it's safe to say you're in the minority. If they equally divided the population into thirds of poor,middle, or rich. 75k-80k would probably fall in that upper top third. 40-65/70 k would probably be middle and less than 40 is lower/poor or whatever you want to call it.
So the Communist News Network has moved from income inequality to iphone inequality?
Apple is waging a war on women by offering iPhones that Appeal so much to men.

You'll own the iPhone 6 soon? Oh, sorry, true richness means you would have the phone since launch date. Sorry. You can be pseudo-rich.
That's why you should take it up with the OP, because the CNN article doesn't say anything about "ONLY." In fact, the very first paragraph clearly states that the breakdown only applies to the early adoption period anyway and that the profile levels out over time.
