[quote=Anonymous]My kids go to the top privates in DC (8th and 11th) and hang with kids from many different area privates as well as a few of the close in MoCo publics, so its a super wealthy crowd.

Both have iphones, the 6s, same as me, which we all upgraded to a few years ago.    I think most of their friends have the same phone.  They do know when someone has something other than an iphone because that kid almost always complains to his/her peers about it.  Its not a big deal but it pretty much signals that the friend might not be as well off as others.  They dont seem to have any friedns who dont have a phone at all.  That would probably be a big deal.

My DD has been making noise about an iphone X but the boy really doesnt care.  I have no idea why DD wants the iphone X but im not getting if for her.  Her 6s is just fine.  So is mine.  Im not impressed with the newest versions so not planning to upgrade to it.  Anyway, I doubt its "peer pressure" its more likely just what she wants. She is into technology.  [/quote]
