Is he bullied or do they just make fun of him/his phone? If he's really bullied, I would teach him to fight back, only easy targets get bullied. They hit you?

Is he bullied or do they just make fun of him/his phone? If he's really bullied, I would teach him to fight back, only easy targets get bullied. They hit you? Hit them 3 times. It's the same as with wild animals. They will attack only if you're running away from them, but turn around, establish eye contact and make threatening noices and every predator thinks twice because it doesn't want to risk an injury. We're all just animals, anyway. If they make fun of him/his phone, talk with him about things android does better (I think it's the same spyware tech, but you probably think otherwise), what marketing and markets do to influence children, teach him to tease those children back or to find new "friends" if the current ones are toxic for him. Inform/prepare him and then let him choose how to handle it, but purchasing whatever just because your "friends" find it acceptable and you're not enough without it is not the right way.
