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.

Well any sort of smartphone is a worry to let your kids have its a double edged sword as great peace of mind to know u can reach your child at any time but of course theirvare plenty of downsides and 14 is probably the right age I would love not to give my daughter a phone til 16 but I don't think that is realistic 😔
