The best iPhone and iPad games for kids

selling privacy for supervision kids technology hero v2

If you're a parent, you know what happens when you leave your iPhone or iPad alone with your youngsters: You're lucky to get it back in one piece -- or at all. Kids just love iOS devices, and maybe you have an older device that you've bequeathed to your young ones, or you allow your kids to borrow yours for a set length of time. If so, there's so much fun and learning to be had.

Apple's App Store is a cornucopia of entertainment and learning apps for grownups and kids, and we've sorted through some kid favorites to bring you a sampling of the best iOS games available today. Note that the definition of "kids" is broad and runs from just past infant to pre-teen, so we've categorized our chosen games to adhere to specific age groups up to age 12.

How to jailbreak your iPhone or iPod Touch

Two million apps is a lot, but for some Apple users, that’s not enough. But unlike Android, iOS doesn’t support installing third-party apps and app stores, so it seems they’re stuck with just what’s in the App Store. That is unless you jailbreak your iPhone.

This unlocked iPhone 12 Pro deal is better than its Black Friday price

iPhone 12 Pro Max

We don't normally see better iPhone deals once Black Friday is over but, somehow, GameStop has a truly unbeatable deal on the iPhone 12 Pro. During Black Friday, you could snap one up for $755 but GameStop has made it even cheaper, bringing it down to just $739 for a refurbished model. That's a huge savings of $160 off the usual price of an iPhone 12 Pro. Even better, if you order now, you'll still get it in time for Christmas. What more could you want?

Back when we reviewed the iPhone 12 Pro at launch last year, we loved how it was a step above the rest. While it's no longer the latest iPhone any more, it's still a fantastic device that will last you many years to come. Our iPhone 12 buying guide takes a deep dive but we can help you out here, too.
