Good to have an iphone at a young age?

I'm 14 and i have a ipod and financially It will be a long time so save up for one get tired of seeing people have it I mean it's good as a kid knowing that you can anything you want withougth working for it. But what is the purpose of having a smarthone? I mean I know this kid my age who has a iphone 6 while her dad has an flipphone, should'nt it be reversed? I mean it's kinda useless having a smartphone at this age, because parents want calls from their kids but really they are also using that data to go on useless stuff like snapchat or omegle or instagram

Because most and good parents want there kids to have a better child hood than they did. So that is why they do it. And most adults kinda grew up on flip phones so they don't want to learn something new.

Her dad probably has a flip phone because he chooses to have a flip phone. I don't think it's useless to have a smart phone. We save a lot of data by using Wi-Fi in the house so my mom only pays for about four gigs and we have no problem not going over it. I have an iPhone 4S right now but I plan to get a 6 soon. It sounds to me like you might be a little bit jealous? There's nothing wrong with that, I get jealous too when I see my friends who had 5S move up to a 6, haha. You can get an older iPhone model like a 3G, 4, 4S, 5C etc. For a very cheap price, btw. There's nothing wrong with wanting nice things.
