How to Set up iphone for child when I don't have an apple device

I recently purchased an iPhone for my 10 year old son and I am trying to set it up; I do not have an Apple device of my own. I created an Apple ID for myself. Instructions indicate that I need to Set up Family Sharing on an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, but I don't have any of those products. How to I proceed to set him/this iphone up?


iPhone 14

Hello ConfusedMomma101,


To set up Family Sharing you'll need one of the devices mentioned here: Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support


One adult in the family — the family organizer — can set up Family Sharing for the group from their iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac. If purchase sharing is turned on, the family organizer pays for family members' purchases and must have a valid payment method on file.


Thanks.
