Due to the recent mendacities of the establishment I will never buy one of these. I have removed wifi from my home and my kids are watching DVDs. I am strongly considering going back to a flip phone as well after having an iphone since the 3g. 

No wifi? Are posting this via carrier pigeon?

One Word: LAN

Why don't you build your own company with it's own walled garden. Then you can dictate who can do what in it. But since you have been incapable of pulling that off, you just expect Apple to hand you the keys to theirs? LOL

But his is what they are trying to do. From comment above: Epic also takes a 60% cut of third-party content for Fortnite. Until recently, it took a 95% cut.

I’d say said 10-year-old needs to have his phone taken away for a month. They’re old enough at that age to have an idea how much money they’re spending. And if they’re allowed to. If he sneaks in by using “Forgot my Password” then he knows he’s doing something sneaky or wrong. That kid needs consequences. 

More than a month.  Enough time to
offset $800, maybe as measured against the owner's cell plan cost.  Show the kid how the length of his punishment is calculated so he will have a solid grasp of how long it should take to spend that much money.  

I support your suggestion. But only in case if the mother cared about financial education of her child (I don't know their case/situation). So if he understands how big the amount of 800 is, e.g. if he is receiving every week 8 USD as pocket money. Then he could have seen how much 800 is. That would be almost 2 years of his pocket money.

But if he is not getting any money, and his parents are not teaching him about the money, then he wouldn't even have a close understanding what 800 USD means (for his family).

This means, the parents are still responsible to explain the importance of money and how to treat them. So she should think not just about consequences for her child but for herself
Though we rarely think this way.
Take the responsibility. Own it.
