My nieces have gone through hand-held game-thingies, tablets, chromebook laptops… they were kids, and abused and lost them. The oldest two (13 and 11) now have iPods and have taken reasonable care of them, although they keep losing the charging cord (and won’t, of course, share them), and the 13-yo has a basic phone too because she is now traveling with the school band. Heck, I didn’t get my first phone until I was in my thirties!
