Apple’s smartphone is the best choice for teenagers and no financial downturns apparently can change their minds and lead them on to the Android path (through AppleInsider).
For the survey, Piper Sandler included 9,193 teenagers throughout the US, aged 15.7 years previous. The outcomes are as follows: 87% of US teenagers owned an iPhone, and 88% mentioned they meant to buy one other sooner or later.
The earlier report was in April 2023, and you may say what you’ll about Gen Z, however at the very least they’re exhibiting excessive loyalty to Apple: again then, the figures had been precisely the identical with 87% confirming they’ve owned or are proudly owning an iPhone and 88% stating they’d pay (with their very own cash, proper?) high greenback for an additional.
What in regards to the Apple Watch?
There’s a distinction between April to October in Piper Sandler’s stories on the problem of smartwatch possession, although. In April, 35% of the surveyed teenagers had an Apple Watch, which was itself up from 31% in October 2022.For October 2023, the determine is right down to 34% of US teenagers proudly owning a smartwatch from Apple. If the 9,193 survey’s respondents account for an actual illustration of the remainder of US teenagers, that’d imply there would be round 14 million Apple Watches in use by children.
Apple dominated the survey on the subject of cost apps – no surprises right here. Apple Pay ranked first within the new report, with 42% of respondents having used it within the month earlier than they had been requested.
As far as AR/VR units go, the tendency goes up: 31% of teenagers now personal a VR gadget, growing from 29% in April 2023. However, precise utilization of VR units declined from round 14% to round 10%. Maybe they’re all ready for the Vision Pro in 2024? Remains to be seen.
