Abstract: In ancient times cellphones were very simple, cellphones in ancient times were usually used only for telephones, sending messages, and playing on the radio. But nowadays with mobile phones, we can do a lot of things. For example: make Vidio calls remotely, access the internet, access social media, and so on. In ancient times, mobile phone brands were just that-that's all like Nokia, Sonny Ericsson, Evercoss, and others. But now the brands of mobile phones are very diverse. Even now there are android, blackberry, and IOS. The mobile phone brand that is viewed with a high caste at this time is the iPhone. Nowadays, often people who use the iPhone will be considered rich people, have a glamorous life, and are viewed as having a more high caste. Even though its use is the same as other mobile phone brands. This event gave rise to social stratification. The purpose of this study is to find out why the iPhone is the benchmark of social class among adolescents and to find out what are the causes of social stratification among adolescents. This research method is a qualitative research method. In addition to observations and interviews, this study also conducts data collection and literature studies, literature studies, which are methods used to trace historical data or review literature and reports related to research titles.
