Recommend iPhone 17 pro max for the kid

Samsung A16 around $200.
No need high end cuz they will either drop or lost it.

Light phone

help your kid to stay focused

IPhone 4?

Any hand me downs from either parent will do. They shld know that they are not entitled to a bnib phone.

 

[TrueB1ue]

Since is kid then must give them TOY PHONE

 

[mryongtan]

a used phone will do, as long as can call/whatsapp.

Can always do a hand me down for Apple.

Else, just use a Xiaomi or Vivo

Actually got a hand me down from our relative iPhone 13.

I thoiuht the parental control on android is better r

no smartphones until 14... no social media until 16...

or else they'll become like the anxiety-stricken gen z....

Cost is not a big issue for me but of cse apple will heart pain.
For kids 11 years old. Which one is better....

Apple iPhone.

buy 1 time, use 7yrs. Ur cost divide by 7.
Kinda like my iPhone 17 Pro Max 2TB that I just paid about $8 for it.

$8 / 2555 days = $0.003 cents a day.

xiaomi or poco.

android security is utter rubbish

Same can by pass one of they smart enough... Best is physically keep the phone. One of the good punishment... If i ask my kids to wash toilet... Don't want... Pass me your phone... Sure go and wash.

No need to be smart enuff. Usually is accidental discovery.

u may wish to decide, based on the features of the family control

and also consider cyber wellness aspects

regular dialogue with your child on such issues is key
