It's branding and that is very powerful, something like 80-90% of teens have an iphone.

That said having functionality that integrates well is a massive step but the bubble will still be a thing because people love status symbols.

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.
