iPhone Ownership Among U.S. Teens Hits 87%

Yea that's what happens when Apple teams up with teens to bully anyone without an iPhone.

&gt;52% of teens cite Amazon as their No. 1 favorite e-comm site; SHEIN, Nike, Lululemon, and Pacsun took spots No. 2-5<p>I&#x27;ve only ever heard of two on this list. Interesting.<p>Also to note there&#x27;s shockingly low diversity in footwear and phone choices. Why is the teen market such a winner take all environment?

I never understood why people would pay so much more for a phone with similar functionality as an androidd phone. I&#x27;m not saying iphones don&#x27;t look and feel more premium but the price premium just doesn&#x27;t make sense to me.

That’s just insane market capture and they’re probably locked in for life.

Deja vu almost, as i remember many eons ago, blackberry popularity catching on with ever younger demographics.. right before the iPhone was introduced...

This has me worried for competition in the smartphone market in the future

If I got a phone for a kid, it would be an iPhone. It has way fewer creepy privacy issues than other phones<p>(I would also seriously consider a linux phone)

Nothing gives it away more clearly that you’re undateable than your Android phone.

Android is losing a generation, not a good sign for competition. I like my iPhone like many others I’m sure, but without competition it’s likely to stagnate and worse potentially have even higher price points.
