I see no difference between being required to buy books or other material and being required to purchase iPhone and Laptop... except price obviously

Except a book is a one time purchase. You have the option of finding a used book and then reselling it back to the bookstore at the conclusion of the class, thus recouping some of your money.
Requiring a phone with a two year contract is a bit different than requiring books. The expectation that you can't work is a bit janky too.
