How much are iPhones. Can a 10-12year old afford one?

Somone I know wants a phone she is 11

She wants an iPhone

Will she be able to afford it

No you can't, go outside and play

She won't be able to afford an iPhone herself no, they are too expensive for an 11 year old to buy themselves. When I was 11 my parents bought me my mobile

No, the monthly payments are a lot.

Oh dear god what sort of question is this

first of all eleven year olds should not have an iPhone. For so many reasons.

Second of all the answer is a resounding NO an eleven year old has an extremely small or no disposable income and considering the iPhone 5 and its related contract costs etc. Can cost upwards of £600, I'd say it's pretty unlikely an eleven year old could get one.

Dependa what one you have an iphone 3 wich you could get for about 60pound then you can get a 4 for abput 150 then a 4s for about 260 then an ophone 5 for about 400-500 pounds. Bur their mum could get ot on contract for them for about 30pounds a month x

I would say that she can't afford it, unless she has $2360, which would pay for an iPhone 5 with 16GB of storage on a two year contract, with unlimited messages, 450 minutes of talking, and 3GB of data, on AT&T.

Or she could buy an iPhone 4S for a full price of $550, and use it on straight talk for $45 a month, without a contract, with unlimited everything. I think this is a better deal, because this would cost only $1630, but that is still a lot of money.

I recommend that she acts really good, and that she asks her parents for one for her birthday or Christmas. That's what I did. They got me my first cell phone (a flip phone) when I was 11, and a smartphone when I was 13, both for Christmas.

NO! She should be living up the rest of her childhood instead of focusing on buying an iphone. Tell her to play with her barbies. She's 11 for heavens sake

Probably no. Although I could have

  • 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.
  • Smartphone broke. Currently can't afford a new one. Any ideas on how to raise money quickly? I'm a college student. Already dirt poor. All my money goes into school, bills, and food. My smartphone recently broke, and I work for an Uber-like on demand phone app service (which requires an iphone 5 equivalent or better) for my money currently as well as sell art on instagram. Basically I work through my phone. But I broke it. Are there any SAFE ways to earn cash faster? I already donated all my clothes, and I don't even wanna tell you how the pawn shop fooled me.
