Parents control if they get a phone till 18. Generally the more upper class the parent I know, the later they give their kids access.

It’s not like kids are born with an iPhone glued to their hand.

Sort of. Kids in the US can get a job and buy their own phone as young as 14.
Maybe we need to treat addiction universally and ban kids under 21 from owning a smart phone.
A kid cannot get or hold a job without parental permission.
