    The survey you’re quoting was that 90% of teens said they wanted an iPhone.

    I have teens and know a lot of them right now among actual hardware they are still in 50/50 iPhone-Android at least among my kids’ friends.

    Teens say they want brand-name shit all the time but reality is that most of them are toting hand-me-down hardware from their parents.

      The survey I’m quoting does not say that, what I said is an accurate reflection of the survey results.

      “87% of teens own an iPhone; 88% expect an iPhone to be their next phone; 34% own an Apple Watch”

      But I didn’t cite it so partially my fault. Here is the link https://www.pipersandler.com/teens

      Your comment is anecdotal and incorrect, this is why facts are important. Hand me down hardware can still be an iPhone.

      This is probably a monkeypaw wish, but I almost wish my daughter was old enough to need a device. I have like 3 that are 1 generation old (long story) and she won’t need anything like that for close to a decade.

      Is there a good place to sell used phones and recoup money?
