How old should you be to have a iPhone 5?
Just wondering how old you should do you think a person should be to have a iPhone 5 if they get strait A's in school and they will pay for it.
Any freaking age iPhones are too simple for an age requirement
If they're old enough to pay for it, then they're old enough to have it, in my opinion. (I might say an iPhone 4 because it's cheaper, but if they'll pay for it, who cares?) Plus iPhones have parental controls built in so if the parents don't want them to have web access or be able to install apps with an age restriction or don't want Siri to recognize curse words in speech for example, that (and more) can all be turned on with Restrictions.
Of course the parents also have to make sure the child is responsible enough to know not to use the phone after bedtime and not to use it too much, and that's a tough call. Even adults can struggle with that. (I guess, unless you have to turn in the phone every night at 9pm and they turn it off or something.) And when speaking on the phone, parents have to make sure their kids know to only use the earphones or speaker phone rather than holding it up to their heads because of the radiation, and at a young age it's worse.
By the time they're in high school they should for sure be allowed one. Even if they're just like 10 years old I'd probably want my kids to have one for safety reasons. Plus with FindMyFriends (or even the iCloud FindMyiPhone interface) you could see exactly where the phone is; that's good if you're looking for your kid or if they lost their iPhone and want to find it. And because of Restrictions and Find My iPhone, an iPhone would be the only smartphone I want my kids to have.
If they can pay for it, then the age shouldn't matter. Especially if they are intelligent and will get good use of it.
- What would you do if you were watching your favorite show, and your 20 year old kid turned off the TV so that you couldn't watch it? I pay all the bills at the house. I normally watch AHS once a week with my kid. This week, she told me to go watch it in my own room. I told her my TV wasn't working and we would just have to watch it in her room. She turned off the TV so that I couldn't watch it. Then, she pompously pulled out her iPhone and proceeded to watch it on her iPhone. What would you do if this happened to you?
- Should I get the new iphone 6s plus? Or should I just continue using my old iphone 6 plus? My dad said he would buy me it for thanksgiving but i feel like its the same thing as the iphone 6 plus and i kind of want to just wait for the iphone 7.
- Is a 6 year old old enough to have her own phone? I have a bunch of old iPhones (6,7,8) saved up and I'm thinking of putting her into the family plan. What do you think of a 6 year old having a smartphone?
- Have you gotten your iphone 5 yet? How long did you have to wait? I ordered mine in a local store Oct. 7 and the representative said I will receive it no later than Nov. 2. I was just wondering if thats true or if she just said that to make it seem like I won't wait long. I don't mind either way but I would like to hear your stories.
