At what age would you say it's appropriate to allow your child to have an iPhone?

My 14 year old wants one as her friends at school have them. My better judgement is saying no. However I don't like the thought of her missing out on account of me being over protective.

14 is old enough. I got my first cellphone when i was 13. Wasn't a smartphone, naturally, but I think once they hit the teens all the other kids have them. If she ever goes anywhere, you can contact her easily. It's advantageous to you, too, in my opinion.

I'm more concerned about these apps I'm hearing about. Tinder and the like. Do you know of a way to block them?
