The iPhone and Apple Watch are more popular than ever among US teenagers
Apple’s share in the US smartphone market frequently fluctuates between an impressive 40% and 50%. But if only teenage users are taken into account, the popularity of iPhone skyrockets to even higher levels.
The latest Taking Stock with Teens report – a periodic survey (via Apple Insider) involving 9,500 teenagers conducted by Piper Jaffray – revealed that 83% of teens currently own an iPhone in the US. This figure improves upon the 82% ownership volume that was registered one year ago and represents the highest level of penetration ever seen by the firm.
No data was provided in regards to Samsung when it comes to the teenage smartphone market but Piper Jaffray did find that around 10% of respondents are planning to purchase an Android in the near future. This is up slightly from 9% earlier this year.
