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.

If I ever have kids they'll never have those kinds of phones honestly. They'll have some modified standard version for calling and texting only. I don't need the stress of knowing my kids are entering sites like this one talking to 55 year old Pete who's profile says he's 16 year old Sarah and has fallen in love with my kids and would like to exchange nudes and how it's their "First time" too so it'll be okay...

No internet for my kids unless it's on a computer and I'm there to monitor their behavior.
