Tween boy screen time

My boys are 9 and 12 and think I am very unfair with screen time. They both play 2 sports each, and do their homework and chores, but I still feel the amount of screen time they want is unhealthy. They don't own phones and we don't have any ipads in the mornings, and only for a few hours in the afternoon. On the weekend they are on in between sport, probably about 4 hours each day. I can see their friends ringing and messaging regularly, so they think it is unfair their friends are allowed on. This is all my boys think about and ask about, and when they have to turn it off, it is always a huge meltdown. Is this normal? What are your screen rules?
