This paper explores the relationship between smartphone practices
and lifestyle in urban Iran. Recently, the use of smartphones has
dramatically increased in Iran and this trend is affecting users’
lifestyle in the everyday context. The researcher has followed the
concept of “lifestyle” advanced by Pierre Bourdieu. Purposive
sampling is applied to collect data through online survey. The
results underscore the research hypothesis as well as suggest that
the use of smartphone is not a powerful indicator to explain the
lifestyle variance. Other variables like gender, education and age do
not have predicting effect on lifestyle, however income plays a role.
