Is there any potential market of parents like this: "my child wants a real phone, but I won't give them one because they'll melt their brain with tiktok and instagram"? I'm not a parent, but I imagine I'd feel something like this.

The problem is other kids will get real phones and use them to talk to each other and your kid will be left out. And unlike the old days, kids can't just ring up the house line to chat.
