What's the meaning

when he says or are phones where you draw the line?

"Tony, if you were the person (sitting) next to the OP (in a coffee shop) (you told him to) and he refused to turn it off/use headphones (playing audio on device), would you break the laptop in half, or are phones where you draw the line?"

Thanks a million!

"to draw the line" means to decide at what point you act, or you disagree with something. For example: I like to wake up late, but I draw the line at noon. (The person likes to wake up late in the morning, but will not wake up any later than 12) I don't mind a fight, but I draw the line when someone goes to the hospital.

I still couldn't make sense of what he meant by the phones though.
