I (16M) am pretty average in my studies, I get around 79-80 percentage in my exams. My dad promised me if I get above 95 percentage, He would buy me the iPhone 14 pro max as currently I don't own any phone. So I decided to study pretty hard but unfortunately just because of 1 subject all my percentage tanked to 89.8% which excluding that one subject would have reached an insane 98.6.

I know i do not deserve it now as I could not fulfil what I promised but I think i should be rewarded for the effort as if we didn't count that 1 subject i would've reached the goal, combined with the fact that i was studying 14-16 hrs daily, even compromising my sleep for the past month. I needed a phone cuz right now I'm 16.5 y/o and everyone around me is connected with each other on whatsapp and all, so I asked him to buy me a 12 pro I was getting for less than 300 bucks but he rejected that idea too.

Now i feel sad that I did not get anything despite my efforts and I Don't feel its worth it to work hard until I'm 18. I cannot get a part time job too (Country legal issues) + I have 0 allowance so I cannot do anything (My Country doesn't allow jobs for under 18 people) until I'm 18. Btw my family is pretty well off so its not like we are poor. AITA for thinking I still deserve the phone?
