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.

I think if she's 14 allready it's Time for her first smartphone. Many school classes have a what's app group where try chat about anything.
2. it would be easier to connect with friends then.
3. she is at a age where she's going to explore the world and a smartphone comes handy then. So she can call her parents or use it as a gps.

Just let her make her first experiences becouse sooner or later she has to make them.
