The past decade or more has witnessed a rapid rise in interest among children to possess the latest gadgets, regardless of how expensive they may be.

That has, at times, led to a conflict between them and their parents over the worth of these gadgets and the purpose of buying them.

In yet another example of a parent-child disagreement, a man took to Reddit to narrate an incident in which he spoke about how his 11-year-old daughter told him that he was ruining her life after he refused to buy her an iPhone15.

Writing on the platform, the man said that he had decided to buy his daughter an iPhone13 since it had a good camera and battery life and looked similar to other iPhones.

"I have a 11 year old daughter. We gave her a phone two years ago it was an old iPhone 8 of mine. She mainly uses it for calling texting with friends and social media."

"Recently she's been wanting a new phone because her phone was old and all her friends have new phones. So I thought the iPhone 13 would be a good option as it's 600 dollars, has good camera/battery life and it looks the same as every other iPhone," he wrote.

However, the man's daughter said that she specifically wanted iPhone15 since the gadget had a 120Hz display and allowed her to play console games.

"But she specifically wanted the iPhone 15 pro max because apparently " it plays console level games and has a 120hz display," he added.

The father felt that buying an iPhone15 would have been a "waste of money", but his daughter disagreed with him and said he was ruining her life.

"My daughter is a gamer and has always complained about her phone not being able to game properly as it's old. I did already tell her she would be getting an iPhone 13 but she's adamant on the iPhone 15 pro max which costs double the cost."

"Honestly I think it's a waste of money and said no. My daughter then got mad at me and said I'm ruining her life and that her best friend has a 15 pro max," he wrote.

The post, which went viral, saw a lot of user comments who urged the man to not fall for his daughter's request and stick to his guns.

"Who's the parent? Don't let your daughter guilt you into something, an iPhone 13 is still a new and good phone," one user wrote.

"An 11-year-old doesn't need a thousand-dollar phone," another user wrote.
