None of these are needs. Phones aren't needs. You know what you need? Food, water, shelter, maybe clothing (environment dependent, though I'd recommend at least some footwear in most of the world). Those are literally your only needs. Everything else is a want.

The thing you seem to be willfully ignoring is that if you want those capabilities and have an Apple Watch (since that's the specific device we're talking about, others would also do) you do not need the iPhone in your pocket in order to have those desired capabilities. You can leave it at home or in the car, and go about your life with those capabilities on your wrist instead.
