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.

My children can have a sell phone at age 10-12, and they will sign a contract I have already made. Maybe this would work for you. Gives them a chance. You list your rules and conditions of them having a cell phone and then the agreed upon consequence for breaking one of the rules. For me, it's that they lose their phone. No questions asked. I can show you mine if you want.
