I agree that at the first moment it does look very funny, but after giving it a moment or two of thought I understand what he is trying to explain.
"Don't think that just because you still look the same Jewish as until now despite having a smartphone, you are indeed the same person you were before getting it. No, it makes also subtle changes in one's way of thinking and approaching issues that were previously unheard of to him."
(In this case, a Satmere chassid admiring Zionism; something very distant from their way of life. Obviously, if I [and perhaps you] would've been his intended audience, he would have used a different example.)
