How do I convince my mom to let me get a new phone?
“A trashy phone”? Does your phone work? Is there some function you need (need, not want) that it doesn’t perform?So your existing phone is practically satisfactory?Then the new phone you want would be merely a status symbol. Has it occurred to you that you are still a child and your development is still the responsibility (mainly) of your parents (or your mother)?She may well be teaching you that if you focus on status symbols you are at risk of missing things you actually need.
How can I convince my parents to buy me an iPhone?
When I wanted an expensive thing growing up, I found ways to make money. I had part-time jobs or did one-off jobs to earn cash for many years growing up. I either bought the item I wanted myself, or shared the cost with my parents.My parents were pretty well-off, but thought it important for me to learn the value of working for stuff.At various times did various things. Some were more profitable than others. Some I did just once.Mowed lawnsHelped do things like clean garages, etcEarned an allowance at home by doing household chores.Took care of people’s yards during vacationWorked as a music tutor for two summersMade belts and leather goods to sell at 3 art showsMaintained an acceptable GPA at schoolI picked grapes for 3 days in a small vineyardWorked at Wienerchnitzel for two yearsI bought myself sound systems, a saxophone, a clarinet, record albums, contact tickets, slot car accessories, skateboards, etc. Once a year, I might get a nice Christmas gift, but nothing in the adjusted-for-inflation price range of an iPhone.I’m sure my parents would have offered to buy me the cheapest possible phone for emergency use, but required me to step up and fund a smartphone of any kind.In hindsight, it’s funny my parents they usually bought me any books or academic-oriented activities or things I was interested in.Even then, I’d have to fork over cash for accessories. They got me started. They subsidized stuff for Boy Scout outings, but I still contributed.There’s a lesson here…
How can I convince my mom that I need the internet on my iPhone?
Do you need to complete and submit homework assignments on your phone? If you don’t, then you technically don’t need it.Learn the difference between want and need, and then make a case for why you might deserve to have it on your phone based on household contributions, philanthropic activities, or various advantages that it might give you academically or socially.If your family can’t afford it, get over it or get a job. If your mom thinks you don’t deserve it or that it will be potentially detrimental to your well being or academic performance, demonstrate responsibility, maturity, and a desire to deserve it.Besides, don’t you have wifi access on your phone already? Are you just trying to get a data plan?
How do I convince my parents to get me an iPhone?
It is awful to want something so badly and not be able to get it immediately. Apple has done excellent marketing to make us all think we need an iPhone instead of one of the much less cheaper phones that will do more, for much less, and not break down as often.So, why do you want an iPhone? Are you being left out of things? Have you told your parents that part?My thoughts are that your parents appear to care about you very much. They are teaching you that life isn't about instant gratification and making do with what we have.They've also given you an opportunity to be creative. What special talents or skills do you have? Can you shovel snow? Mow lawns? Clean houses? Babysit? Make birdhouses? Perhaps a formal job isn't in the near future, but be creative. Begin saving now.One more thing. These phones are outrageously expensive. To make that not so obvious, Apple has you sign a contract saying you will make payment on phone and phone usage plan. Will you be making enough to do that? Are your parents worried that they will have another $100 a month on top of new car insurance payments, car payment?It's a new world for your parents as far as electronics go. There is also the element of danger. You will be private and possessive of your phone, and your parents will absolutely need to know who you've been communicating with and on what apps. They love you more than your teenage mind can even conceive, and worry constantly. So be kind, don't fight. Tell them the truth about what snap chat does. And tell the whole truth. That there are now programs to prevent the pictures going away.Do some research on the cost and dangers, and then add the benefits. Sit down like an adult and show them your business proposal. Listen carefully to their concerns, note them down, and thank them for listening. Then go do research on their concerns.Once you understand exactly what you are getting into and they are convinced you can be mature enough to take care of business, I'm sure it will work out well for you.Good luck.
How do I convince my parents to buy me an iPhone 7 despite the radiation?
Convincing your parents is your job. They as doing the best they can to keep you safe.But I can fill you in on the radiation issue though.First off there’s different kinds of radiation: Some things are very energetic like x-rays or more energetic like gamma rays. These tend to be high frequency photons and can, in some cases, cause some internal damage that could possibly do something like promote cancer. (There are many other things that can promote cancer too though, including things we choose in our diet.)Some things are heavy but less energetic like alpha and beta rays. These are much more massive particles than photons, but travel much much slower that they can be blocked by things like sheets of paper or aluminum foil.Neither the iPhone nor the various models of Androids emit any kind of the above radiation. But mobile phones all have radios in them. Some people are concerned about the electromagnetic waves from radios, also called electromagnetic radiation. This is a very different thing from the more energetic radiation.Mobile phones started out analog devices that used a lot of power in their radios. Today’s smart phones use much much less power for their digital radios. A small fraction of what was once used.My own belief is if there were some problems with radio waves, then mobile phones have been around long enough (especially the higher power earlier ones) and enough people have used them that we’d be seeing millions of people with medical problems from phones. But we’re not seeing that, so I believe they’re safe. Or at least so safe that something else will kill us at the age of 110 before phones will at least!Some people also use earbuds or a headset to talk on the phone. This keeps the radio away from your head. Since the inverse-square law applies here, that drops the level of the radio waves next to your head.
How to convince my parents to let me buy an iphone 6?
If you really want an iPhone 6 then tell your parents about the benefits of the iPhone, why you think you'll want it and will benefit you, what features are available that you won't get on any Android, show them the technology and innovation behind the iPhone. Try to convince them with reasons, rather than just saying that all your friends have the iPhone. Tell them how it will be better for YOU, and show them why it's worth the money as iPhones are pretty expensive. Show them the features like a great camera on the iPhone, fast and snappy and is not slow, the large App Library, Apple Pay (if you live in US), better Fingerprint scanner, and included Apple apps which can be very helpful sometimes. Compare them to androids and show what aspects of Android you don't like, and why iPhone will be better over Android. It's not that Android phones are bad, there are very good phone out in the market which are Android and some are even bigger than the iPhone 6, and often faster (by few seconds). However unlike iPhones, Android also have mid-range and budget smartphones which are slower and often smaller than most flagships. And also it's not that Androids are cheap, phones like the Note 4 are more expensive than the iPhone 6. This march 1, MWC is going to be held at Barcelona. MWC is the usually year's most important event for Smartphones, where the best Android Smartphone makers unveil their flagships. Samsung, Sony, Lg and HTC usually have their flagships announced at MWC. The Galaxy S6 and the HTC One M9 are going to be unveiled this MWC, and these 2 are two of the most hyped phones which are coming out this year. So be sure to check them out and compare them to the iPhone before deciding what to buy. Right now the OS is one of the major reasons to buy one of the either, if you prefer Android OS then an Android will be fine, and if you prefer iOS then go for iPhone. Make sure you check Android on the flagship and iOS on the iPhone 6 before deciding to buy which one. Build Quality, features, and Hardware + camera might also be important to you so make sure you see all the aspects before you buy and BUY WHAT YOU WOULD PREFER, rather than getting what everyone of your friends have. Don't just go for an iPhone just because it's more trendy, this however doesn't mean iPhones are bad. Buy your phone depending on your preference, and budget.
How do I convince my parents to get me a new iPhone 7?
I feel ya. I’ve been on the both ends of this kind of situation: as a teenager, there were times I just couldn’t understand why my parents would deny me something I needed, or just wanted and could pay for myself. As a parent I have had to say no to my kids for a variety of reasons — and since I don’t have all the specifics of your situation (or some idea of your parent’s perspective), I really can’t give you a way to convince them to get an iPhone 7.For instance…How long have you had the iPhone 5s?What kind of shape is it in?How did you earn your money? Is it supposed to be used for something specific?What reason did your parents give you for not allowing you to get an iPhone 7?Even with answers to all these questions, sometimes parents just say no because they need you to learn patience and how to not spend your money on things you don’t really need.FWIW, I had a hard time resisting the iPhone 6s last year, but I waited. While I have an iPhone 7 on order, it is really because my iPhone 6 has been acting up the last few months and losing its Bluetooth connection (very frustrating). If it weren’t for that, I’d probably be happy waiting for next year’s model.Hang in there.
How do u convince your parents to get u a iPhone for your birthday?
Tell them you could use the internet for schoolwork or something like that. Just tell her about some features and how totally awesome they are. And if you have a kinda old ipod, an iphone is exactly like an ipod touch, only with a phone. It has youtube so you can save money cause instead of buying songs and videos, u can watch or listen to them on youtube. As for your bro, the new 2nd generation iphones coming out the 11th only cost $200, and your bro got $250. I dunno about your plan but if u have a $9.99 line on a family plan, all you have to do is pay for data so your entire plan would only be $40. If adding a data plan will be kinda expensive, try to avoid bringing that part up.
How can I convince my parents to upgrade me to the iPhone X from the iPhone 6s?
Adult up and buy it yourself. You sound like an indulgent self entitled teen whining for a phone upgrade. Be grateful you have an iPhone 6s because your parents could have given you a flip phone.Frankly you might be better off with a flip phone and forced to learn things such as read a map, use a dictionary, live without twitter, Snapchat, FB, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Instead of watching youtube videos, you might have to go to the library and read a book.Finally, take a moment and thank your parents for the 6S and stop whining.
