It is well known that iPhone is one of the most popular devices in the world. However, at least in the United States, a very specific group represents the largest percentage of users. According to a survey shared by investment firm Piper Sandler, 90% of teens have an iPhone.

The results of the biannual survey for several years also make it clear that the demand for devices with the bitten apple logo has doubled in the last decade. In 2012, only 40% of young people in this country own an iPhone.

Teens already own their favorite smartphones

This year’s survey Surveyed 14,500 adolescents with an average age of 15.8 in 47 statesappeared now 87% of teens surveyed own an iPhoneaccording to the results and 88% of teens expect an ‘iPhone’ to be their next phone. Several factors come together for this fact, according to experts:
