My 11 year old has a Samsung s23 because I wasn’t impressed with Apple parental controls. Android works much better with the Bark monitoring service. She will get an iPhone when she turns 16 and I start loosening the reigns a bit. So far no bullying although she has expressed she wants an iPhone, but she knows why I chose android and doesn’t fight me on it. She’s had an iPad forever and I just upgraded her to an Air 5 with cellular, she wants a career in digital art so I want to support her in that to the best of my ability. Her best friend only has an iPad so she can communicate well with them. I’d love for her to have an iPhone but it was just not possible for me to monitor appropriately at her age.

Launch day 15PM, coming from a 14PM. Love this phone, love the action button, I use it for the camera all the time.

Hopefully. I now upgrade yearly with T-Mobile. Hoping for better battery life, my 15PM is no different from my 14PM in that regard.
