I’m 19 now, but I got my first phone and my current iPhone, a Sierra Blue 13 PM, in 2021, when I was 17.

I was never interested in getting an iPhone, since I was a big sideloading guy and I didn’t want an expensive phone at that age.

But my dad’s office plan is the only way by which we get new phones, and he swore that he’ll never buy anything outside of that, which is why I went with the 13PM.

Honestly, I’d say I was like every other teen then, except I made my phone the primary device of all my socials, music, etc etc (previously it was my dad’s phone)

But I took the phone with great care and tbf, even now, can’t stop appreciating the colour, the elegance and even the camera quality

Kids at my grade also gave me side eyes when they saw an iPhone in my hands (I was living in the Middle East) since most of my mates back then were either on mid range phones or had no phone at all.

It kinda bothered me, since I felt that I was giving off “rich kid” vibes, even though I ain’t very rich, but now that a lot of people have iPhones, I feel better about myself

How was it for y’all?
