Have you wondered which iPhone you should be getting? Middle School is around when kids are getting phones and many people are trying to decide what phone they should get.  Should you stick to an older phone or get the newest one?

Getting the older model would be a smart decision for a first phone.  It costs less and has all the essentials: calling, texting and camera.  Another good option would be using a parent’s old phone.  The downside is that it might be damaged or have old data which might take time to delete.

Getting a new model also has benefits such as a better camera, more data and a bigger screen. Faster 5G and longer battery life also are good benefits. However, it costs significantly more and is not as good of an option to younger kids who are typically less responsible.

All in all, it could depend on the person to determine what people should get for their kids.  A good option would be for the kids to get their parents’ old phone in decent shape. The parents could get a new one and eventually their kid could earn/save money to get themselves a new one.
