While Apple is still making a ton of money from iPhone sales despite it dropping compared to the previous years, we’re sure that the company would love to see their sales figures rise again. It seems that this could be the year because in a recent survey conducted by Piper Jaffray, it seems that a good majority of teens expect their next phone to be an iPhone.
This survey consisted of 5,500 teens spread across 43 states in the US. According to the results of the survey, 81% of the teens surveyed said that they expect their next smartphone to be an iPhone, a number that has gone up from the previous year in the fall of 2016 where it was at 79%, and is also apparently the highest level ever recorded by the survey.
Of course whether or not these teens surveyed will end up buying the iPhone remains to be seen, especially when you consider that not all teens have their own money and might rely on their parents who might consider the iPhone to be too expensive for a teenager. However we guess if anything it does show that the iPhone is in demand.
According to analysts in the past, quite a few are expecting Apple to experience another super cycle of iPhone sales this year. Given what we’ve heard from the rumors so far, it does sound like Apple will be shaking things up considerably, but whether or not the rumors are true is a different story.
