Can my parents take away my iPhone, Even though I bought it myself and pay my own bill?
What if I'm 17 and have a part-time job?
Even if you are earning your own money, you are still considered a minor and likely dependent on your parents, which means they could still take away your phone if they wanted to. However, every family dynamic is different and it's possible that your parents might choose to respect your ownership of the phone even if they technically have the right to take it away.
