My 14-year-old son wants an iPhone for Christmas. Do I need to get him the 15 or will an older version be okay?

He’s only ever had Samsung phones, and not very good ones at that.

    You don’t need to get him anything.

    That said the iPhone has a much longer support cycle than any android, my iPhone 11 Pro Max I just replaced still gets updates. I’ll be giving that to my 14 y/o son for his birthday.

    I say this as an iPhone user, I held onto my 11 until just recently and really only replaced it because I dropped a plate on it at the gym and cracked the screen.

    The 13/14 will probably be noticeably better than the Samsung he’s had and if he wants an iPhone it’s probably for iMessage.

    My 2 cents
