Survey reveals more than 80 percent of teenagers own an Apple iPhone

Technically Incorrect uses a somewhat twisted take on the tech that’s taken control of our lives.

I’ve heard it stated that today’s teenagers are more practical, more conservative than generations prior to them.

I do not always suggest conservative politically. It’s merely my impression that they take a look at their seniors with a tint of pity at what they have actually done to the world.

Might such a conservatism describe why ever higher numbers of teenagers appear to be iPhone owners?

I ask due to the fact that financial investment bank Piper Jaffray launched its bi-annual Taking Stock With Teens study on Tuesday.

Researchers asked more than 6,000 United States teenagers, whose typical age is 16.4 years of ages, what they invest cash on and which brand names they love to their hearts.

And, yet once again, it appears the favored smart device of teenagers is the iPhone.

When I state “preferred,” I nearly wish to state, in a dismissive teen voice: “Ugh, what’s that? A Samsung?!”

You see, 82 percent of teenagers surveyed stated they owned an iPhone, and 84 percent stated their next phone would be an iPhone. This seems like unusual brand name commitment.

Last October, 78 percent stated they owned an iPhone, and 82 percent stated their next phone would be an iPhone.

Can this mean that today’s teenagers are real to their word?

Apple didn’t right away react to an ask for remark.

There’s something rather odd about the obvious supremacy of Apple’s phones amongst teenagers. After all, Samsung’s advertisements, for instance, have actually constantly done effectively in viral charts– typically significantly much better thanApple’s Don’t teenagers shower in viral-this and viral-that all the time?

It might be, obviously, that much of the iPhones these teenagers own have actually been bied far to them by prudent, self-indulgent moms and dads who desire the latest iPhones on their own.

Still, if an old brand name like Apple can hold this level of prestige amongst teenagers, it needs to cheer CEO TimCook

If the business can absorb the young and cover them in its reasonably basic, effective community, they might discover it really hard to leave.
