No way! To small get a basic first....!

Iphone? Age nine? Well, I don't think so. Most nine year old children aren't responsible, as mentioned by many other people. They'd probably destroy that phone in less than two days. Plus, it really isn't necessary. Or, they'd lose it. Either way, the parents would lose money.

I mean, smart phones are created f or adults who have reasons to use the apps. The only thing those children would do with that phone is play games. So get them a gaming console, not an Iphone.

I'm eleven, and I'm responsible, but if I'm being honest here, I would drop that phone so many times. I'm glad my blackberry is sturdy, because I drop it at least twice a day. 

Let them nine year olds start with a Nokia or Samsung (Not the newer versions, the older ones we all know) like the rest of us.

Guys, my parents can get me anything that they want to get me. It's not my fault. I didn't ask for one, I just got one. It's not my fault what my parents get me, it's what they choose, I didn't choose any of it.

Don't be upset

It's perfectly okay. It's okay if they have the responsibility that owning an iphone requires. Today, an iphone is extremely common. Everyone has one. Apple has even invented games for the younger kids to play on and develop. Having an iphone is like owning anything else though, you must keep track of where it is and be careful enough to not break it. I fully support an iphone at a young age to teach a kid at the right maturity to be responsible.

Sure. Why not?

Iphones are cell phones. I don't think you need an Iphone if you talk to your friends every day at school, or have contact with your family most of every day. If you had an accident at school the school would notify your parents, you wouldn't need an Iphone. If you get lost, there are policemen pretty much everywhere, and you could just tell your situation.
