Anyone not living under the poverty line can in theory save for a luxury good, but that doesn't mean they otherwise live a luxurious lifestyle. In my country you see some really poor people living in pretty terrible conditions but who own luxury cars.
It might be worth it. A family in my street migrated from Kosovo to Belgium, and returns every year for the holiday. They aren't rich but have a second hand BMW. It's the only car that survives the trip from/to their holiday, so it's cheaper than buying a new car.
That 45% includes folks paying them off every month, folks buying new cheaper models, folks being given other people's old phones, and folks buying used/refurbished phones. It doesn't mean they aren't a luxury good: The newest, latest iPhones are still some of the more expensive on the market, and a lot of onlookers can't tell one from the other.
