What age should I get my daughter an iPhone?

Whenever you feel she is mature enough to apreciated it, Never for a child below the age of 12. That is their 'outside and play years' Before they become a hermit, and stay on the comuputer. So, 13 and up/

11 to 12 years old. I think while your daughter is still young, you should let her enjoy playing games not requiring any gadget for I know and experienced that getting a little child a gadget in a young age will develop bad habits like learning something bad from the internet and doing it in real-life situations, it may also cause your child to never want to play games not involving technologies. I think you should get her first to enjoy being innocent, knowing how to pray, table manners and knowing some household chores appropriate for her age. That's all! And oh, buy her a lot of educational books. When I was young, I really like reading books and that's how I become knowledgeable and was top 1 in class. Not really bragging, but I know it helps since I experienced that already! Start from small books up to thick books.

11 maybe 9-10

I got an iPhone 4S when I was 11. But one of my other friends got hers when she was 10.

How old is she?

When she can buy her own. Don't get me wrong I'm totally going to buy my kid a phone as soon as she is old enough to head to school. It will be a prepaid phone with limited minutes, and she can only use it to call mommy and daddy in an emergency. But as far as a 700.00 iphone. I want to teach her the value of a dollar. She has to work, save money and buy that herself.

edit. Quick caveat. If she get's a scholarship to college, I will then buy her just about anything she wants with all the extra money we would then have, as we would no longer need her college funds.

You could also start out with an ipad and she could learn about the technology or msg her friends with imessage (free over Wi-Fi, no monthly contract needed, and that way you can monitor it).

I say 14. My 11 year old has only a flip phone, a cheap Metro PCS one for emergencies and to call us if going to a friends house, pick up from soccer,… That's all she needs. Once she's 14, I'll get her one of those per paid I phones.
