Parents don't buy their kids $1,000 phones??? Well of course they do.  The kids aren't working paper routes at dawn and paying for the phones themselves.

My wife teaches 9th and 10th grade math at the high school in our middle- class neighborhood in central Virginia.

Every kid in her four classes has a cell phone except for 3 kids, and the vast majority of them are the latest Apple I-Phones or Samsung Galaxy phones.  Two of the kids have the new Glaxy Z Fold 3, which retails for $1,499.  :-O

She has to collect every one of them at the beginning of every class.

These phones are the current "coming of age" entitlement gift to modern kids when the hit the age of 14 or so.   (Somewhat like the expensive English Racer's some of us got back in the early 1960s.)

(I'm the only person I know above the age of 14 who carries a six year old $25 Verizon flip phone that I bought at WalMart.  It gets a lot of laughs when I pull it out of my pocket!)
