Is this a new thing? And if so, given that iPhone have been around so long why is this new?

#4It's just a line in the article, the data isn't provided. This is the source of the headline quote:
> 87% of teens own an iPhone; 88% expect an iPhone to be their next phone; 31% of teens own an Apple Watch
And sorry, but that's just laughably wrong. Even in my teen's upper middle class school of tech scions, the penetration of any kind of phone sits somewhere around 50%. And I don't think I've even seen a smart watch on these kids.

#5So I have owned an Android all my life and never daily driven an iPhone. The iPhone (edit forgot the iPhone part) screen seems more responsive and very bright and colorful. To me the freedom of an unlocked phone I can put my own apps on is very important for me for Android. Why should I get an iPhone?
edit: not sure most teens care or are unaware of Android's around 3 years support length for a phone.

They would rather be dead than be uncool! Yikes.

(iPhone user here) It does seem to me that Apple isn't playing fair and this is no longer the technical issue it once was. Apple has so far refused to adopt RCS (the successor to SMS and MMS) which is now an industry standard for text messaging. Because of that, aside from the green bubble, the text messaging experience with non-iPhone users is subpar. Images and videos are compressed and things like tapback and group texts just stink.

Generalizing here, but that sounds exactly like teenagers. No perspective, and under way too much pressure to conform.

I love the idea that somewhere, there are a bunch of high-priced antitrust lawyers having multi-hour serious discussions and debates about green and blue bubbles.
