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.
