Family plan.
They don't. They make their parents pay for it. That is why I'd never buy anything for my kid (at least not THAT expensive) until they'd be able to pay for it themselves.
Mommy & daddy… Spoiled
Parents get free money
Mum & dad…
Parents bought mine for me, but when I got a job they made me take over the payments on it.
Unfortunately not everyone is as broke as u.deal with it.
Usually they can't it's their parents who actually buy them for their children as they have no common sense about money or they are rich who buy everything for their kids. Also some kids want and want and they get lots of things coz their mum/dad give in too easily and also if parents are not together.
EXACTLY
i really don't understand. My bro has one but he got it off ebay for £200 and he has a job so he payed for it but me, i have a brick phone and it's not touchscreen, it doesn't even have a bloody camera.
i'm not really complaining but i'm a bit envious of my other friends and i really don't get how we're in a recession and people can spend spend spend. I kinda have the most budget things meaning my mum only buys me clothes on sale (or at a reasonable price) and she wouldn't buy my vans because they are £50.
sorry for ranting…
I've always wondered too.
Not all are that expensive, you can get iphone 4 free right now on a 2 year contract. Not the latest hardware but still a good phone.
They're probably spoilt little brats.
Parents. Some of them do work I guess
They can't. Their parents but them for their kids usually with a contract so it doesn't cost as much. I'm just as confused on why parents buy them iPhones if they can't save up their own money and buy one themselves. I'm a 13 year-old teenage girl and I don't even have a phone yet while kids who are like 8 or 9 have an iPhone! 0-o I mean its pretty weird. I do want an iPhone though but I'm saving up my money to get an older version on eBay. I don't need a new generation. Another reason is probably their parents can't so no to their child so they spoil then. Another reason they get it is as a reward for good grades or something. There are a lot of reasons though, so you can never be really sure which is the right reason.
They might be selling drugs or themselves
I dunno cos i can't afford them for my teens, my lot have samsung S3s
We don't know the real situation on how they can afford the iPhones. Usually its the parents, but they could give it to them for different reasons. Like, they are gone a lot for after school activities and need a phone they can rely on? Maybe the kid pays for it them self. Like I said we will never know till we ask them, but that would be weird. Definitely the family plan though.
- Why do people say they can't afford iphones? My mom has been jobless for many years and my dad is stuck at a dead end job and they still manage to buy me expensive smartphones, expensive brand clothes, etc. I even have 2 computers. And i'm not spoiled because i will get a good job in the future and pay them back, but if i can afford it, then most people can afford it.
- What is your opinion on teenagers having MacBooks and iPhones? Lots of people say they are underage to have the responsibility of a macbook or iPhone. I'm 13 and i take good care of mine What do you think?
- They say to stay positive no matter what happens in life but how could I when I'm living with negative thinking people? Such as my parents. Which really can't be helped, they are really stubborn people. And I'm still a student, can't afford to live on my own yet. I wear airpods all the time to block out their negative energy. They moan about stuffs all the time
- Is tbere any major différence between thé iPhone 6 and the 6s? Whooppeee is Xmas again and my daughter wants new 2nd hand) iPhone… 2 years ago almost bought her 5 before i réaliséd that it was 5s she wanted ( cos thé 5 sucks?) And I don't want to screw up this year…
