Spanish parents not realising they can already ban their children from having cell phones at any time they want and on whatever terms they want

It's not simple, and the fact that you are trying to make it sound simple is confusing at best.

Even if a very small percentage of teens has a phone, the social pressure for all to have it becomes unbearable.

Plus things like marketing phones to children and teens would also be banned if a law like that were to come into effect.

So basically ban cellphones for every other kid so mine doesn't feel pressured to have one?

How would that even work?

Not sure you're arguing in good faith, as the answer to this is apparent. Of the long list of harm cellphones and social media bring to children, having a few children with cellphones within a social context (school, etc) would bring the harm anyway.
