Is it weird that anyone I see with an Iphone I laugh at? It's the soccer mom phone and just can't help it.
87% percent of teens have iphones. They like Crocs. NFT'S, Crypto, Social Issues, Games and more zoomer stats.

I know, I just can't help it. In my mind it's the phone for people who don't know how to use smart phones/tech. I don't know why I think that but I do lol.
Here's some free title ideas lol

Android user for life here. Take a long look at that teen chart for iPhones.
These teenagers aren't going to switch to Android in future. RIP Android in the US in the next 10 years.
"Haha they bought a smartphone that was made by a different trillion dollar tech company than my own, how amusing."
Yes, it's weird lol. It's a device designed for user-friendliness, app navigation, and app sharing. I'll use it today to do some DuoLingo, text my friends, web browsing, Instagram scrolling, and maybe check some NFL scores later? I'm not sure why I need a specific phone if I'm just using it for normal, everyday functions like that. It also doesn't mean I'm not tech savvy or that I'm a boomer. It's just a smartphone to me. I'm on iPhone and my SO is on Android and the only reason for each is that it's just the device family we got used to a while back. In fact of the two of us, I'm the troubleshooter in the house for all tech issues.
Yea, it is weird. In the general population. iPhones make you more successful on dating apps and considered more successful https://www.mensxp.com/technology/n...e-users-find-more-success-in-dating-apps.html
Iphone sucks, but it doesn't surprise me at all that the youth likes stuff that sucks.
this is among the saddest, dorkiest things ever said on this forum.
Ironic considering most technical people I know prefer iPhones because they know tech. When your day job is in tech the last thing you want to do is fight with your phone. Soccer moms got it right.
While owning a truck = you're a racist is still the saddest, this is certainly up there
Status seeking combined with brand loyalty is a very odd thing to me. But peer pressure is strong, and brand loyalty gets taken to obsessive levels.
Hidden gems memes are perfect for teens/zoomers tbh
that's why Adam Sandler is huge
Also hotel Transylvania and his back movie catalogue is always playing on tv

You go out of your way to laugh at people for the phone they use? That kinda makes you a dork.
As weird as people wincing when they see a green bubble. So y'know, not really weird!
you ever seen those threads full of people cringing because there's a US flag on their house or somethin
iPhone and Apple products in general are huge fashion and popularity statements, so I'm not surprised a lot of teens asked for iPhones, but it blows my mind that 91% out of this survey has them. Would have definitely thought it would be in the minority due to the cost and upkeep.
Upkeep? An iPhone 6s (released in 2015) is still supported with current updates. iPhones are easy to pass on to a new user, so the amount of teens having them makes total sense.
Upkeep as in, isn't it a fucking pain in the ass if the screen cracks or battery shits itself and you have to go through an Apple dealer specifically? Or has that changed? The only Apple products I've used was iPads but I remember hearing about Apple products being notoriously difficult to repair through third parties.
Most phones these days are hard to repair, though you can usually find parts for them fairly easily.
I mean you can pass an old android phone on to someone else. They still work without updates.
I know, I'm just saying support isn't necessary to use an old phone, even though I realize its something a lot of people want.
People can point to iMessage and all that jazz but it's more wholistic than that. The integration AND the products are great. People like AirPods, they like MacBooks, they like iPhones, they like iPads, the way they work together is legit amazing. The fashion/aesthetic/trendy/etc. aspect of it is the cherry that puts it over the top for the younger crowd. Kids growing up into them too because how many kids be fucking around on iPads now. Owning the tablet market had an underrated halo effect imo.
The game changed when they started keeping em around and now have em at every single price point so now the barrier to entry is pretty low.
