I am somewhat shocked about how many people here think that getting an iPhone will change anything. That's all leading up to start smoking, etc. "to be one of the cool kids". Worse, it's actually re-inforcing bullying, and make the kid a target, because it obviously works. You don't stop a behavior by making it work out. I however agree with people that it's not a technical problem, so trying to solve it like one is doomed to fail. The "solution" really depends on the context though. The assumption that owning an iPhone will turn a bullied outsider into being part of a peer group is bizarre and only works in commercials and bad TV shows.
