How can people afford these dumb Iphones/Smartphones?

I see EVERYWHERE kids, elderly, extremely poor people, and extremely rich people alike all walking around with their stupid Iphone and I do not understand it.

Do Iphones come first to you people? Do they come before All else? Because I don't know the last time I had 600 dollars to absolutely waste on a phone.

and on top of that these same exact people, rich and poor, old and young all seem to have the money to tear them up, throw them around, drop them in toilets All them time, pour drinks on them, and just entirely treat them like a piece of worthless garbage

I've never seen an Iphone owner actually take care of their phone. They treat it like it's worthless or like their trying to find out how long it will last being crammed into their tight back jean pocket.

On top of that you people buy every single new version of it that comes out and then just throw your old phone in a drawer or the GARBAGE like again, you spent nothing on it or that it's somehow obsolete or useless.

Throw in the fact you all pay for expensive contracts and it all makes me scratch my head wondering: HOW DO YOU PEOPLE AFFORD THIS?

Why is the Wi-Fi switch on my iPhone grayed out?

I know this question has been asked many times, but I need a clear answer
I got an iPhone 4S. My dad bought it December last year. He bought in an apple store in Australia and we live in a different country.
Alot of people said it is something to do with the new IOS 6 but I downloaded that a long time ago and haven't done any updates in a while. Yesterday, I was trying to connect my iPhone to our home Wi-Fi and it couldn't find it. All the other devises in my home had Internet connection. So I turned my phone off and back on. And the Wi-Fi switch was greyed out or dimmed, as in I can't turn it on and off, I've tried turning the devise on and off. Tried turning the do not disturb and airplane mode on and off, tried reseting networking and I really don't want to go to an apple store now… Any ideas?

How to get music from my iphone 5 onto itunes?

My Iphone 5 screen cracked and it is being replaced by a brand new Iphone. In the apple store I was told I would have to download everything from my phone into itunes so when I get the new phone I can sync it back. However, I don^t know how to get music from my PHONE to ITUNES because whenever I try to sync it, it tells me music on my phone will vanish since I have NOTHING on my itunes.
I have already tried:
-backing up to icloud
-Syncing
-have googled many options

I would not like to:
-purchase itunes match or extensive icloud
-purchase or download anything on my computer or phone
-ONLY replace the screen on my iphone, I prefer getting a new one

Thank you for your help, serious answers only please.

Added (1). I did not purchase the songs from itunes. Therefore, I can't go to my purchases and sync them. I would prefer not having to redownload all the songs. However, I have purchased some apps. How can I make sure they get onto my new phone aswell? Are my apps already saved and ready to sync?
