I was gravitated to or gravitated with new i phones as well. (Both are ok in here?)

Women constitute a new formation of party.

John AkiThe new i phones really gravitates to many people.

The spelling is "iPhones". "gravitates" does not agree in number with plural "iPhones". If these problems are fixed, then sentence is grammatical, but reads slightly oddly to me.

John AkiI was gravitated to or gravitated with new i phones as well. (Both are ok in here?)

"gravitate" is an intransitive verb, so "was gravitated" is not possible (some people apparently use this form, but I can't find any dictionary that recognises it). What you want is "I gravitated to/towards the new iPhone" (active verb).

John AkiThe new formation of democratic party was constituted by a young group age under 30.

There are several problems with this sentence, but as far as your highlighted question is concerned, no, it does not sound right to say that the formation of a party is "constituted by" a certain group. It is the party that is "constituted" in a certain way, not its formation.*

John AkiWomen constitute a new formation of party.

No, this does not work either, for similar reasons.*

* I am assuming that by "formation" you mean "act/process of forming". There is another "static" sense of "formation" with which "constituted" could arguably work, at a pinch.
