What age should a child get an iPhone? - 1

At whatever age they are mature enough to use it properly, usually 14 or 15 for boys and 13 or 14 for girls in my experience.

Most likely 12

Mine got them at 12 (girls). They're 14 & 15 now and have done fine with them. I have access to their phones so I can see what they're up to on them.

It's convenient for them to have them so well, I can track where they are, if they get out of school early, practice is over and it's convenient for them if they need money.

12 or 13

I would always make a rule that they agree to before buying, that at bedtime it always sits on living room table unlocked. That way they know you can look through it and that way they don't have it in bed up texting all night instead of sleeping. If they don't want to agree to those rules then they always have the option of not having one.

12.let them have their privacy.

It depends on what neighborhood they live in and how mature they are.
