Teens are more susceptible to marketing and peer pressure. It's not their fault or anything it's just their brains aren't finished cooking and these companies take advantage of that.
Yeah, there's the whole green vs blue chat bubbles thing too. They'll leave people with Android phones out of the group chat, which isn't exactly great for your social life at school.
Their parents are to blame too. You shouldn't be giving a kid everything it wants. How the fuck would a kid find the money to buy such expensive trash anyway?
When my newborn daughter turns 12 or 13, she's getting a dumb phone. She needs to be able to call and text her family, that's it. Then she can go through the stages that I went through of dumb phone to slightly better dumb phone to low-tier smartphone to flagship as she gets to be 18. At that point then, she'll be old enough to buy it with her own job money
You... there aren't enough like you around.
There are teenagers outside of the US. Just fyi
What?
9/10 stat is US teens. That stat does not hold outside of the US, therefore the issue is not being a teen, per se
Oh ok yeah.
