What age is most appropriate to get an iPhone?

My dad says I'm too young, and I'm 11. EVERYONE has an iPhone. I mean EVERYONE! I want one so bad but my parents are so strict! Help me!

Added (1). By everyone I mean everyone I know and everyone in my grade and even in a few of the grades below me!

I don't therefore not everyone has an iPhone. Your agument is untrue not everyone has an iPhone maybe everyone you know has one. You need to come up with logical reasons why you want an iPhone. Do research on how much the cost. Find a way to help pay for the phone. You will probably have to make some kind of deal with your parents like you can only use the phone at cetain times. You will probably event need to hand it over now and then so they can check up on what you are doing with or on your phone.

Why iphone you can have samsung or something else nah?
But you can say it's for call them if you have a problem or somethin'
I'm 14 and i said that for have one lol
or you can say…
Mom/dad i'm beeing a teenager if i can't have just a phone when can i have it it's so rude ti don't let me have one.

How about you start off with just a basic phone. Do you have an iPod? It's almost the same thing, so you can have that until then. They have texting apps on iPods, it's almost the same thing

11 is quite young for an I phone

Unless the child can pay for their own iphone (cost is a lot), then you shouldnt have one. Your father is being a responsible parent where so many other parents are not. The only phone I would consider for my child at your age would be a regular cell with minutes for emergencies only.

Bruh! Okay there's nothing wrong with an 11 year old having an iphone. However, maybe you should start of with a basic phone. I'm 14 and I still don't have a smart phone. However, I got my first regular phone when I was lime 8 or 9 but that was only because my mom would drop me off at places and i would need a way to get ahold of her. I would join like a bunch of activities like clubs and sports, when your parents realize how Much of a pain in the *** it is to not have a way to contact you, your argument might hold more ground.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT All THIS IPHONE AND YOUTUBE IS All ABOUT, BUT I WOULD SAY THAT YOU'RE NEVER TOO OLD TO HAVE FUN. I'm 74 AND I STILL KEEP A STOCK OF CAPRI-SUNS IN MY REFRIGERATOR.

I think its ok to have one at your age but I would make a rule that its never locked at home and never goes in the bedroom so that way it doesn't impact your sleep and you know they can look throug it if they want. Make those agreements with them and maybe they will get you one. Or just get ipod touch if they don't want to spend monthly contract at this time, ipod touch has no monthly plan to pay.

U r too young. You don't need a cell phone till at least middle school. And i know plenty of ppl who don't have iphones

Ask if they'res anything you can do to get an iPhone. If your in 6th grade, then thats a good age. If your still in 5th grade than your too young. Just be a good kid with good grades and like i said- ask if there's anything you can do. Or maybe you can ask for an allowance for chores and save up. I personally got my first iPhone when i was 12- the christmas or 7th grade.

Probably age 14 at the youngest. I got my first cell phone at 12 (basic phone, could only call and text and take pictures) and I got an iPhone (my first smartphone) at 19. I'm 21 now.
