She had an older version of the gadget and wanted the latest one because her friends have it.

“I have a 11-year-old daughter,” the man posted on Reddit. “We gave her a phone two years ago it was an old iPhone 8 of mine. She mainly uses it for calling texting with friends and social media. Recently she’s been wanting a new phone because her phone was old and all her friends have new phones.

“So I thought the iPhone 13 would be a good option as it’s 600 dollars, has good camera/battery life and it looks the same as every other iPhone. But she specifically wanted the iPhone 15 Pro Max because apparently it plays console-level games and has a 120 Hz display.”

He said his daughter is a gamer and always complained about her phone not being able to game properly as it’s old. She added that he had told her she would be getting an iPhone 13 but was adamant about getting the iPhone 15 Pro Max which costs double the cost.

The man claimed that he refused to buy her the latest phone as it was a waste of money. He said his daughter then got mad at him and said that he was ruining her life and that her best friend had the phone.

The man said he and his wife are thinking of purchasing the latest version of the iPhone and gifting it to her.
