Ah ok, that is still higher than I would expect, but somewhat less ludicrous.It doesn't say that. It says that 22% of teens have heard of them and 10% of those 22% have bought one.

yeah what does that even mean
They're genuinely good products with a cohesive, well-integrated ecosystem. And they've also turned into status-signalers for some reason. The combination of those two things makes them very popular.
I'm glad this is the first reply, because it was my takeaway, too.
Texts and photos together equals Facebook, I guess? It's a rather dumb comment.
From what my younger brother told me, iPhones are still kind of a status thing and having an Android is considered "not cool". No one wants to be the guy in the group chat with a green bubble.
It's so weird because my phone is a samsung that folds out into a sick tablet, but if I was 15 years younger I'd get laughed at for having a poor person phone.From what my younger brother told me, iPhones are still kind of a status thing and having an Android is considered "not cool".

It's a mystery why they are full of shit, no one can tell -Even that number is sheer bullshit. There are about 67 million Zoomers in the United States. 2.2% of that is 1,474,000. There are just 360,000 wallets on the planet that hold NFTs according to https://www.resetera.com/threads/th...e-value-of-the-market-financial-times.534989/
Piper Sandler is an investment bank and entirely full of shit.
Piper Sandler does and seeks to do business with companies covered in its research reports. As a result, investors should be aware that the firm may have a conflict of interest that could affect the objectivity of this report.
maybe it's bc I can react to a message with a thumbs up? Lol idk, I love that feature. Sometimes you don't need to send a text to let someone know you acknowledge their statementsTexts and photos together equals Facebook, I guess? It's a rather dumb comment.
Little kids walking with $500+ iPhones and iPads. Whats hard to believe?Bullshit that 87% of teens have iPhones. That's not even remotely believable.
Yup.
If the iMessage wall is ever breached, that iPhone market lead will drop like a rock.

Title should be updated to specify that they were looking almost exclusively at high income or middle class teens.
Green bubbles fuck up the whole group chat too because it forces SMS on everyone. Tiny, shit quality videos if you send them and stuff like "liking" or "hearting" message converts the action to an annoying "So-and-so liked MESSAGE_TEXT" instead of just adding a thumbs up.From what my younger brother told me, iPhones are still kind of a status thing and having an Android is considered "not cool".

I thought gen z were OK, but if they love Adam Sandler and Crocs, I'm not so sure.
Yeah, someone have their teenager hop on their Era account and explain this to me.
Little kids walking with $500+ iPhones and iPads. Whats hard to believe?
My 11 year old has a Iphone. It was free as part of the family plan. You don't need to be affluent to have iphones.
Seriously. It's such bullshit and people just keep falling for it.its crazy how people keep perpetuating this wild ass , Fox News-level myth that you have to be rich to have an iPhone. Apple wouldn't be a fucking trillion or whatever dollar company if only rich people could afford iPhones. You might as well say iPhones are only for hipsters.
Phone contracts exist you knowLittle kids walking with $500+ iPhones and iPads. Whats hard to believe?

There's been this perception for a while. I remember reading somewhere someone theorizing that one of the big advantages, intentional or not, that Apple has is that celebrities almost unanimously use iPhones. In a celebrity obsessed culture, the fact that your average person can't afford the same car, or house, or clothes as their favorite celebrity or actor or singer or influencer but can have the same phone as them, or the same earbuds as them, really creates this illusion of it being a luxury product, even though anyone with half decent credit can walk into a Cricket store and get the same one.
Yup.

Thank you. It is hilarious how of touch so many people on this board are.its crazy how people keep perpetuating this wild ass , Fox News-level myth that you have to be rich to have an iPhone.

Couldn't you just use Signal or Whatsapp for example? Like, it might be a small annoyance to you, but it's your sister. You could keep sharing all the media you want in the family group and have her there.Green bubbles fuck up the whole group chat too because it forces SMS on everyone. Tiny, shit quality videos if you send them and stuff like "liking" or "hearting" message converts the action to an annoying "So-and-so liked MESSAGE_TEXT" instead of just adding a thumbs up.
My sister recently got an Android and we had to banish her to a separate family group chat where we don't share media because my parents were annoyed that the videos of their grandkids became too low quality. She very much regrets the purchase now.
This is sarcasm, right?Little kids walking with $500+ iPhones and iPads. Whats hard to believe?
Sure why not. It's all TikTok and Twitch now… until the next fucking thing. Which already may be taking off for all I knowI had no idea Snapchat was still popular
Also is Twitter for old people now?
One way I've seen it described that I really latched onto is "Apple and Android are like Coke and Pepsi" - for a lot of Gen Z Americans the iPhone is the smart phone and everything else - no matter how good it is or isn't - is a secondary choice that most would not choose over an iPhone. It is very hard to challenge or unseat the cultural perception that one product is the universal first choice and other options are secondary.Yeah, it's interesting that there's still this wide perception that all Android phones are "cheap", outside of tech enthusiast circles. There are cheap Android phones, yes, but the most popular ones tend to be the ones that sit in the same price range as iPhones. Then you have the bleeding edge ones that are actually quite a bit more expensive. It also doesn't matter if it's an old iPhone, just has to be an iPhone. Some iPhone 8 users would look down on an S21 Ultra.
But I'm the first generation where that is true.
How else are you going to show that paying over 1000 is a good choice?Couldn't you just use Signal or Whatsapp for example? Like, it might be a small annoyance to you, but it's your sister. You could keep sharing all the media you want in the family group and have her there.
No, what's dumb is the whole "liking/loving" texts - so childish.Texts and photos together equals Facebook, I guess? It's a rather dumb comment.
Plenty of those WhatsApp responses were typed on an expensive phone.How else are you going to show that paying over 1000 is a good choice?
Childish? It's just a simple way to acknowledge a text.No, what's dumb is the whole "liking/loving" texts - so childish.
Yes, but WhatsApp has no sign to show that.Plenty of those WhatsApp responses were typed on an expensive phone.
This would almost certainly be too confusing for my parents. They're already baffled by stuff like Facebook messenger.Couldn't you just use Signal or Whatsapp for example?

Speaking of childish…No, what's dumb is the whole "liking/loving" texts - so childish.

Why would that be childish? Like if you say a nice comment in a live discussion, you probably get some reaction. The likes are just a digital way of representing a simple reaction, instead of always having to a respond something like "nice" or "cool" or whatever.No, what's dumb is the whole "liking/loving" texts - so childish.
I understand old people having issues with tech, but it doesn't seem very nice if your own parents aren't willing to try to learn a new, overall fairly simple thing to properly include their own child.This would almost certainly be too confusing for my parents. They're already baffled by stuff like Facebook messenger.
Cute!
Would things like NBA Top Shot fall under that 360K Wallets with NFTs in them? As far as I know, you can't transfer NBA Top Shot off the platform and into a wallet, but 99% of people on the planet would probably think they were NFTs if you explained to them what NBA Top Shot is

I'm actually surprised Android doesn't have something similar yet. Just a matter of time, most other messengers have something like it these days...Cute!
To me, it just feels more like superfluous social media BS rather than a straight-forward functional (and adjustable) messaging service.
Regardless, I used to use iPhones, but after using the newer Galaxy phones, there's no way I'm going back.
