My oldest was born two weeks after the first iPhone was announced. When she was 7 I let her buy an iPod (the one that looked like a thin iPhone) after she saved half the money.

My son is about 18 months younger and I did the same for an iPad Mini when he saved up for it.

They've been very responsible with their devices and we have talked about the potential dangers. Still, if I were to do it all over again, they wouldn't have touched those devices until they were 14. To this day I question how badly even I need one.
