It may seem that rich celebrities – whether from the world of music, film or even sports – offer their little one everything they can imagine. When it comes to the iPhone in particular, there seems to be nothing to discuss. iPhones are generally considered to be very high-end phones and Apple products are owned by a number of celebrities. However, not all famous parents follow this path. World-famous football player Cristiano Ronaldo, for example, revealed that his fourteen-year-old son will have to wait some time for an Apple smartphone.

Ronaldo revealed in one of the interviews that he would not buy his son an iPhone (yet). “Honestly, I won’t buy my son an iPhone” Cristiano Ronaldo is not only one of the most famous football players of our time, but also one of the most followed celebrities on social networks – including Instagram. “I am the most followed athlete on Instagram and fans often ask me why I don’t allow Junior to be active on social media.” Ronaldo explained, revealing that his son had actually secretly opened his own Instagram account at the age of twelve.
“He got a million followers in one day” Ronaldo revealed. After he was assured of this, he forced his son, in his own words, to immediately delete his Instagram account. Even at the age of 14, Ronaldo’s son still does not have his own Apple smartphone. “I made this decision because I want him to understand the true value of hard work. He has the drive to train hard and it’s a shame that he drinks a lot of soda and eats a lot of French fries instead of eating healthy. If I gave him an iPhone, it would be harder for him to reach his full potential. I don’t want him to become dependent on technology,” concludes the famous footballer.
