[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is trying to convince me to get him an iPhone, but not sure if it is actually helpful. He is going into 9th grade to a math/science school.[/quote]

What are his arguments? Do you agree with them? [/quote]

This coming year (September 6th), he is going to TJ. The school is about an hour and a half away. He says that there may be days where communication is necessary, and using a friends phone just gets embarrassing. Also, he says he wants to stay in contact with his friends from his middle school. [/quote]

You get it for your needs so you can keep track of him.  Its not reasonable for him to constantly ask to use a friend's phone.  We do not allow our child except in emergencies to share his phone as if it breaks/drops, who is responsible.  He doesn't need an iPhone but you can get him a cheaper smart phone, an older model iPhone that is more affordable or if you have one, upgrade yours and he can have the old one (what we do).  Being that far away, is a good reason to have a phone.

Why wouldn't you get him one?[/quote]
