It's branding and that is very powerful, something like 80-90% of teens have an iphone.
That said having functionality that integrates well is a massive step but the bubble will still be a thing because people love status symbols.
The survey you're quoting was that 90% of teens said they wanted an iPhone.
I have teens and know a lot of them right now among actual hardware they are still in 50/50 iPhone-Android at least among my kids' friends.
Teens say they want brand-name shit all the time but reality is that most of them are toting hand-me-down hardware from their parents.
The survey I'm quoting does not say that, what I said is an accurate reflection of the survey results.
"87% of teens own an iPhone; 88% expect an iPhone to be their next phone; 34% own an Apple Watch"
But I didn't cite it so partially my fault. Here is the link https://www.pipersandler.com/teens
Your comment is anecdotal and incorrect, this is why facts are important. Hand me down hardware can still be an iPhone.
That's how surveys work, what do you want from me?
The current stats show exactly what I said they show.
At that sample size there is only a 1.043% margin of error according to Slovin’s Formula in Statistics.
This is probably a monkeypaw wish, but I almost wish my daughter was old enough to need a device. I have like 3 that are 1 generation old (long story) and she won't need anything like that for close to a decade.
Is there a good place to sell used phones and recoup money?
