8 out of 10 teenagers in the United States prefer the iPhone to Android

A recent survey carried out by Piper Jaffray and from which we have been able to find out through the Business Insider medium reveals that more than 80% of adolescents in the United States prefer the iPhone to any other Android smartphone. Specifically, 82% of American teens currently own an iPhone, the highest percentage in history.

Young people prefer an iPhone

Today, "teenagers" in the United States continue to prefer having an iPhone in their hands rather than having a smartphone with an Android operating system. Thus, 82% of adolescents own an iPhone, according to the survey carried out by “Piper Jaffray”, taking as a universe thousands of young people from forty states with an average age of 16 years.

The data reflected by this survey reveals a growth of 78% compared to the previous study carried out last fall, also being the highest percentage of iPhone ownership among adolescents shown by this survey. But in addition, it seems that the figures could continue to increase as 84% of teenagers say that their next phone will be an iPhone.

And this growing popularity of the iPhone could be having a "drag effect" because the popularity of the Apple Watch is also increasing. To be more exact, 20% of American teens plan to buy an Apple Watch in the next six months, with Apple being the second most desired brand among high-income teens, second only to Rolex, although we assume the survey will refer to the income of their parents who, logically, pay for the purchases of their student children.

As it could not be otherwise, the news has sparked the odd interesting headline; From the Android Authority it was stated that "Over 80% of teens no longer 'Think Different', prefer the iPhone to Android" ('Over 80% of teens don't' Think Different ', prefer iPhone to Android'), in what is a clear play on words with the already legendary Apple slogan.
