How to Convince Your Parents to Get You an iPhone: 14 Steps

Are your parents hesitant to buy an iPhone for you? Here's some tips on how to convince your parents to get you an iPhone.
STEPS
_ 1HAVE A DISCUSSION WITH YOUR PARENTS ABOUT THE PROS AND CONS OF AN IPHONE. Identify problems that might pop up with having such an advanced piece of technology, and figure out potential solutions.

2

GET THEM SOMETHING THEY\'VE ALWAYS WANTED; FOR EXAMPLE, YOUR MOM MAY WANT SOME AWESOME PERFUME.

3

EARN SOME MONEY AND GET IT FOR HER, MAYBE DAD MIGHT WANT SOME NEW SOCKS, GET THEM FOR HIM.

4

KEEP YOUR SCHOOL GRADES UP. Good grades always make a parent proud and happy. If you get good grades, they'll most likely be happier overall and more willing to invest in an iPhone for you. If you get a bad grade, tell your parents that you will try harder and bring it up (have a good grade to show them after).

5

OFFER TO PAY FOR HALF. Cost may be the issue. Understand that it will be a big investment, but worth it if you intend on taking proper care and using it often.

6

BE PATIENT. As the old saying goes, good things come to those who wait_. If you are not patient, it will take even more time and effort to get your iPhone.

7

BE RESPONSIBLE. Take good care of the belongings you have now to show that you can take care of an iPhone! Don't lose anything while trying to get your iPhone, because that does not show your parents that you are responsible to have such an expensive device

8

RESPECT YOUR PARENTS\' DECISION. If they say no, there is probably a reason why. Maybe you can't afford it, or maybe they don't think you are responsible enough. If they say yes, be happy! Thank them and try your best to keep up the good behavior even after receiving your new iPhone!

9

ACT LIKE AN ADULT. If one (or both) of your parents have an iPhone, show them that you are responsible just like them and do things that they would normally do, like cook or clean the house. It may sound boring, but this will get you the iPhone you are looking for, and if you already do, then it will prove to them that you are responsible.

10

DON\'T NAG. Parents hate it when you ask them over and over for things. Sure it might work a few times, but probably not for something like an iPhone. Keep calm and wait a while, maybe remind them once or twice, but not too often.

11

DO CHORES. Offer to help with chores around the house, like taking out the trash, taking care of your pets, washing the dishes, etc.

12

HELP PAY OFF THE BILLS. Save up some extra money to help pay for the phone as well as the monthly bill - iPhones are expensive and your parents might not be up for the idea of spending $20-$30 extra a month for the data.

13

SHOW THEM THAT YOU LOVE THEM. Parents love it when there kids do these things.

14

IF THEY SAY NO, DON\'T START ACTING STRANGELY WITH YOUR PARENTS AND FORGET THE QUALITIES AND MORALS OF A GOOD CHILD THAT YOU WERE SHOWING THEM TO GET A IPHONE. They will probably not be happy if they find out you were just putting on a good act to get the iPhone. Keep up the good act so maybe in the future you could get a new phone. Oh, and do what you're told to do.
TIPS
When you get the iPhone, thank your parents, then continue to work hard at your chores and whatever they tell you. This shows them that you are responsible and deserve the iPhone.
Don't whine, it will just make your parents just say NO.
Take good care of your present phone so your parents will see how responsible you are to take care of an iPhone.
Just because you get the iPhone, don't stop doing everything they say, or chores. It will just get it taken away.
Be very respectful and obedient to your parents. Do everything they say, and show them your love.
Don't say things like "All the people at school have them." They'll just get really irritated and they may even say "Then use your friend's phones!"
WARNINGS
Show them that you really deserve it, or they might end up taking it away from you.
Try to keep your grades up!
Don't be rude or your parents may not get you an iPhone.
Try to avoid being whiny. It just tells your parents that you're not ready for the responsibility of an iPhone.
Ask them once, then drop the subject. If you keep bringing it up, your parents are more likely to NOT get you the iPhone.
