Despite claims by everyone from the Wall Street Journal to the company's own co-founder Steve Wozniak that Apple is losing its cool, the latest Piper Jaffray teen survey shows that, in the US at least, the iPhone is still the most sought-after smartphone among teenagers.
The bi-annual "Taking Stock of Teens" report, published this week, discovered that 48 percent of US teens already own an iPhone (up from 40% six months ago) and that 62% of the 5200 respondents plan on making the iPhone their next mobile device purchase. When asked specifically what type of phone (in terms of operating system) they next intended to buy, 59% answered Apple, compared with 21% who intended to buy an Android phone.
