Notes
A managed iPhone rather than a purpose-built device. No social media by default, no unrestricted App Store, no open browser. Calls, texts, iMessage and FaceTime work normally. Parent or user requests individual apps through the membership. TobiPhone states the management does not read texts, photos, calls or personal data.
