I am an Instacart Shopper. I use a 4G phone currently, but I get orders less fast that people with 5G phones. Am I able to deduct the difference in cost between the two

[scottr2012-gmail]

between the two phones? A new 4G phone that I would be ok with for personal use costs $110, but a new 5G phone costs $250. I only need the 5G for my Instacart app. Is that $140 (or $250) a business expense?

That is a valid point that probably would hold up in an audit.
