    So they carry an ipod and a phone? How is that better?

    As for making children targets, no, having an iphone doesn't because they all have an iphone/android equivalent. The children that run the highest risk of being 'targetted' are those whose parents will only let them have a basic calls only phone.

    I meant targeted by people who want to steal said phones.

    By having a cheap phone, they wouldn't attract that attention.

    Old iphones are pretty cheap, if your parents have one they don't use they are free. Perhaps the latest model might be a target but I don't get the impression that many 11 or 12 year olds have new ones.

    I think alot of them have their parents old phone. Parent upgrades and the child has the old one

    One way you know you're getting older is when you start being given your children's old tech when they upgrade theirs to the latest thing. :(
