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.
