Youngest person you've seen with an iPhone?

Re: youngest person you've seen with an iPhone?

The problem with this is when the child breaks the phone its a ton more to replace unless you have insurance- so if you add the $30 data plan plus another $10 for insurance you are looking at an additional $40 a month so a 9 year old can play angry birds and text with his friends.

I use the Ballistic HC and Otterbox cases. With the ballistic HC case I would frequently toss my phone 10 feet across the driveway and freak people out. After two years in the HC my 4 is in mint condition. Bought my second HC case on the shop here on sale for $25. Never bought insurance for it. A data plan is not required on t mobile.

Re: youngest person you've seen with an iPhone?

My 15 year old daughter had a basic bare bones cell phone @ 10 years old just in case of emergencies and so my ex or I or out spouses could get ahold of her. at 13 she got my ex's hand me down 3G then her 4. If she does well in school and behaves, she can continue to use it. She also has to give us the passcode.

My nephew is 3 and knows how to use my wife's iPhone 5 better than she does, I mean talking, playing games, playing music and downloading music! Blows my mind!

Re: youngest person you've seen with an iPhone?

My kids don't have iPhones, but they do have our old Androids. My 8 year old son has my old Infuse, and my 6 year old daughter has my wife's old Inspire.

1) There are no pay phones at school or anywhere else anymore.
2) If I can track the phone, I can track the kid.

Plus, they can have the games they want, and I don't have to load them on mine. I put Smart Limits on both lines, and parental controls takes care of most of the rest. I also see the phones every night, since they charge on my desk.

I may pass my 4S down to my daughter when the 5S comes out. We'll see how her Inspire is holding up.

I deactivated my iPhone 4 when I got the 5 and loaded it up with games and videos and let my 3 year old use it. When we go out I just use my 5 as a hot spot so that she can still watch videos on it.

Re: youngest person you've seen with an iPhone?

i have seen dang 4 year olds... thats right... 4 year oldS <--- (emphisis on the s on olds) with iphone 5s! this upsets me very much because that phone can be very use full but they use it for games and they don't know how use full that iphone device can be, i admit, i am 13 years old and i have an i pod 4, but i know how use full it is and i take full responsibility for it, now i didn't ask for one but my mom insisted i get it because she got one for each of my brothers and sisters, but you gotta remember i have an iPOD (POD) 4 and i don't know if it's good or bad but i'm willing to take responsibility for it.

10...I saw a woman in Target buying her son one, so I said I was thinking of getting my niece one but I didn't know if 10 was too young. She said her son was 10 (he was a small 10). He got a gold 5S. Ha!

Youngest person was probably my brother when I got him an iPhone 4 when he was just about 5 or 6
