Hello everyone I am new here and I have 4 daughters aged 16, 14 , 12 and 11 years old. We are all using androids phones ( samsung and Huawei) but my second child is not having it. She is currently using a samsung A13 phone but she is not happy saying all her friends at school are using iPhone13 and upwards and she is the only one without iPhone. This has bee. Happening since last year before she went into year 9 snd she is still complaining about wanting an iphone from 13 and upwards. Not 11 or 12 according to her is updated none of her friends has it. Please I want to know from mothers with teenagers similar age to my child does your teenagers have iphone 13 and upwards and should we buy her a iphone or not? Personally I wouldn't buy for her just because she wants it but I want to hear from other parents so that I will have an idea about what to do next. Thanks

I don’t think she is wrong but I still think she is a bit cheeky. My 15yo has an IPhone 15 and before he had an iPhone XR. Tbh it was meant to be mine as contract came to an end but I couldn’t be bothered transferring everything so I still have an iPhone 11.

Lots of kids have parents who are not technically inept and so inherit older phones
