I can\'t decide whether this is good or bad...
At least smartphones are a helluva lot cheaper then cars. If I had a teen I would prefer him to be obsessed with collecting phones rather then expensive cars

They don't want smartphones. They want iPhones.
Automotive industry is in crisis because of Apple. We must wait for Apple iCar, the reinvented car.

to be fair, a lot of states dont allow you to have your licence at 16 anymore. Some have been moved to 17 for their full license and 16 for their permit... or like FL where you now have to have your permit for 6 months (heck it might be a lil longer, im old.. lol)

In my country, there are reports of making fun of, bullying and harassment of elementary school kids if one hasn't got an iPhone (and even iPad).
Simultaneously, goverment endorses projects of implementing Apple products (iPads mostly) to elementary schools, because they are happy to see how kids are interested in "education possibilities" provided by iPad.
It sounds like some bad black comedy scenario, but it's the reality. Smartphones, aka iPhone, is the status symbol for children, the slaves of our capitalist, consumerist order.
Girl who has her sweet sixteen birthday doesn't want pink car for a gift anymore, but white iPhone 4(S).

WTF $700 for a birthday gift. You are the probably the most caring cousin ever. Not all of us could shell out $700 for their 12yr old cousin

Far be it from me to make a point for such topic. However, I'm not exactly what purpose it served for you or your Aunt to purchase a 12 year old a smartphone. I can think of no reason why a 12 year old(especially a girl), should have such power in her hands. It breeds trouble. I've seen the issues played out more than I would like to see. In many ways, you would've been better off purchasing her a car.

We still have more cars than licensed drivers in the US. Also, the recession took a toll on discretionary income meaning no extra new car for junior.
