AITA for wanting my phone that I paid for back?
For some context i am 16m.
Okay, so my mom, Jane (fake name for obvious reasons) has been withholding my phone from me for a month now and every time I request to have it back she always says "I don't wanna talk about it." Now this isn't a problem because she took it, it's a problem because I bought the phone myself and want my stuff back.
The reason she took it is because I snuck out and got brought home by police. Me sneaking out is not (and never has been) a common occurrence so i gave my phone up willingly. I was told I would get my phone back on the June 30th, but here we are in July, and...
Since the 30th I have contacted my mom 3 times asking about my phone and every time she has said "I never said that you'd get it back on the 30th. I said we'll see."
We had a conversation about the issue, transcribed below:
Jane: "What, OP?"
Me: "Mom I need my phone back"
Jane: "I'm not talking about this right now."
Me: "Mom, this can't be an 'I don't wanna talk about it' thing anymore. I have spent most of my summer break inside"
Jane: "And who's fault is that?"
Me: "Mine, yes, but, mom-"
Jane: "'But mom' my ass! You could have died!"
Me (audibly upset): "Mom I paid for that phone, you can't just keep it!"
Jane: "I'm your mom, OP, I can keep it however long i wantt! I'll break that motherfucker and then you won't HAVE a phone."
Me: "Mom, I-"
(Jane hangs up)
After this, she returned to acting nice until I asked about my phone
Reddit, AITA?
EDIT: I now realize I left out a few important details.
1 - I have been exceedingly apologetic an understand my punishment
2 - The exact context of the police encounter is as follows:
I was on my way home but took a detour to a friends house, since they saw i was in the area and knocked on what i thought was their door for somewhere between 10-20 minutes before realizing it was the wrong door. After the realization I walked away and started toward the right door, but after about 5 mins the police pulled up, talked to me, had my mom talk to me and took me home.
3 - The money for the phone came from a side job i was doing.
4 - I was paraphrasing, i did not speak rudely.
EDIT 2:
To those suggesting chores and other things, I don't live with my mother, I live with her 3 brothers (aka my uncles, Dick, Larry, and Jacob(fake names))
The reason for this is her living situation (which would require a separate post..)
I can see some of your logic, however, I wanna debunk some things.
1 - I was sober. It was late, dark, and the houses in that area look similar.
2 - WE (as in me, Larry, and Jane) agreed on the 30th. She herself stated that my phone would return on June 30th.
3 - I have a very bad perception of time. What feels like 10 mins to me could have been 5, 5 may have been 2 ½...
4 - I DO NOT HAVE CELL SERVICE. My phone operates on Wi-Fi and I paid for it in full.
5 - All contact with Jane has gone through my one of my uncle's phones.
