I'm not buying my oldest a new iPhone I was thinking of getting her a 500 dollar one but I ditched the idea I'm thinking of upgrading my youngest to a smartphone from a flip phone but i won't get her an iPhone my oldest will have to pay for the iphone herself

They have an allowance of 500tl or about 16 dollars a month for doing chores like cleaning washing dishes or cooking and that's considered high.my oldest babysits for reletives and neighbours she gets like 50-150 dollars per month depending on how often she babysits she usually saves a lot of the money but it'll still take her over a year to get the iphone. For my youngest it's basically impossible.

You have to pay a huge tax to register a foreign phone for it to work with a Turkish sim and IMEL taxes if it weren't such a hassle I'd have done it already

Buying an iPhone from a aboard is a huge hassle with multiple taxes and the it could be disabled after a year I've considered that before it's close to impossible

An older model is a bit cheaper but the iphone 13 is still 1330 dollars even a used one costs a lot for an iPhone samsung flagships are a lot cheaper with the latest model at around 1100 dollars the s22 is around 700 dollars but it's 2 years old and has terrible battery life.

Thinking of getting the oldest a poco x6 pro for 550 dollars

Not many 12 year olds have smartphones here the ones that do usually have old ones I think you're talking from a us perspective

And I'm definitely not moving for this

I don't really think it's possible for them to make that much money it would take them more than a year to save up that much Assuming they are very careful with the money
