My thoughts exactly lol.
As for being too young, yes you are. Why... because you're asking us if you are. What's it matter what we think or anybody else? Seems to me like you're looking for attention or praise that you are 13 and own an iPhone. I'm 18, what does that mean in terms of me owning an iPhone?

too young?
My reflex response is that if you feel you have to ask if you are too young, then, you in fact are too young.
As a father, I am not so much concerned that you have a phone, but how you use it.
If you allow your parents to lock it with the parental controls to keep you out of areas that we know you will check out but shouldn't, that would help. The best way to prove you are not too young, is to use it responsibly.
I also agree, keep it in check so you don't end up a 40 year old virgin (and one whose only experience is in the virtual world).
Hey, you asked for the gift of feedback, and you got it.

You are to young too own a phone in general. No you don't know just as much as anybody else on here. The only reason you have made this theard is to brag. I know all about owning the new gadget. So don't get on this website and start saying " look at me I stayed up till 3am and didn't get a iPhone, so being a smart mature young adult I am, bought one off ebay so I wouldn't have to pay xx amount of money". Just take my advice research all about the gadget before you make such a big statement like " I'm as smart as all of you". I'm sure your probably in like 7th-9th grade.
Hahaha, I HATE Dr. Phil. But in all honesty, I don't really care how old you are, it's a cool device and if you're smart with it, then have fun!

I know everyone is used to different things depending on how one is raised, but parents and relatives giving a 13 year old $600+ for a birthday is seriously out of whack.
They need to stick it in a college fund or a trust fund instead.
I don't blame the OP one bit...he's a kid. I blame the adults in the family.

I didn't just make this just to brag and I did do all of my research on this gadget. I'm also smart enough to know people like you jump to conclusions too easily and take youth for granted. Remember, you don't know me. I could be a relative of Steve Jobs for all. You know.
So you take my advice: don't go judging me, because you don't know me. I could very well know as much as everyone on here, and I do think I know more than you

Nah. You're not too young. I'm thirteen too and I have an iPhone 3G that I purchased on the 11th after waiting four hours in line for it. In my opinion, there's no age limit that prohibits younger people from buying iPhones or other high-end electronic devices. Now maybe a seven-year-old with an iPhone is ridiculous, but thirteen is definately not too young.

I remember when i was 13. I thought i knew everything.
What type of coding language is needed to build iPhone apps?
Did Apple have any issues with the "iPhone" name itself? What company was involved? What was worked out so everyone was happy?
I doubt you know these things. Google isn't allowed.
So no, you don't know as much as everyone here.

Who cares? its a phone... a piece of technology- its not like you're asking if you're too young to be a father or watch an R rated movie or something sheesh. If you have one you do, and if you don't, then it's whatever😉 It's about the responsibility factor. If you're gonna be an idiot and lose it or break it then yes. If you appreciate that you were able to work for it and respect that then you're golden.
Just don't get too caught up with being on the cutting edge or outdoing people right now. Live like a spartan until your mid 30s [at least] (unless you win the $300m lottery) and you'll have a pretty awesome financial future. Then you can get an iPhone 27G and bluetooth it to your electric Ferrari that has zero emissions but still somehow sounds like a petrol-based sex-on-wheels machine like the current ones do.
