Got my kids the iPhone 13 for Christmas. Great phone and awesome battery life

My old phone is iPhone 13 Pro, which I will be trading in (probably via wireless carrier) for iPhone 15 Pro Max/Ultra later this year.

If your spending that much to have a iphone, why then so cheap on your teenager? Im sure he would also like that same attention!

Perhaps because he/she is earning the money and therefore the right to some perks that the teenager does not have? If the teenager wants something special, he/she should perhaps earn some money to pay for it? I have always given my kids what was needed, but did not pamper them with luxury items. They should make their own way. Support yes, pampering no.

I agree with this, they should be happy with what they get, if they want more, find a paper route or something. It’s not on the parents to stretch their own budget to appease them.

It might sound hypocritical coming from me since I just got my kids iPhone 13’s for Christmas. But I also have special plans through my job that literally allowed me to get them for free just for renewing my contracts that were due anyways. But if it wasn’t for that, it would be a cheap used phone.

Even with their nice new iPhones, they are on my $5 a month plan with no data, if they want data, they can pay for it.

Why not an iPhone 11 Pro?
