At the time of its unveiling, I talked to real people <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.cnet.com_news_iphone-2Dx-2Dforget-2Dthe-2Dexperts-2Dheres-2Dwhat-2Dreal-2Dpeople-2Dthink_&d=DwIFaQ&c=OAG1LQNACBDguGvBeNj18Swhr9TMTjS-x4O_KuapPgY&r=F2GFXrjLFqVo3VwvIlo_XYeEiRRjHv15rxcenz7A21woG2aFGcrzndoSsskxfmOs&m=bPPYJHVcBgClrnkj8GhGp5A-Z9M9rhlykTsaDnFYKu8&s=CqpNkppye2qzMZCNJtR9DsCZMB41lMF4qMfb3rJAH-c&e=> who mostly felt very meh about Apple's so-called "smartphone of the future." Yet along comes investment bank Piper Jaffray's latest "Taking Stock with Teens <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.piperjaffray.com_private_pdf_TSWT-5FPresentation-5FFall-5F2017.pdf&d=DwIFaQ&c=OAG1LQNACBDguGvBeNj18Swhr9TMTjS-x4O_KuapPgY&r=F2GFXrjLFqVo3VwvIlo_XYeEiRRjHv15rxcenz7A21woG2aFGcrzndoSsskxfmOs&m=bPPYJHVcBgClrnkj8GhGp5A-Z9M9rhlykTsaDnFYKu8&s=iFDlHwlyJDlOaCa2kunpucE-js6uKm37xdlqhuXrOBk&e=>" survey and insists that US teens are more excited about iPhone than ever. Enlarge Image Piper Jaffray surveyed 6,100 US teens across 44 states. Piper Jaffray/Screenshot by CNET In this twice-a-year survey of teens' mercurial minds, 78 percent said they owned an iPhone. And 82 percent declared that their next phone will be an iPhone. This is the highest iPhone-loving number the survey has ever seen. Which might make some wonder: "What on earth are the competitors doing?" Or, perhaps: "Are there that many hand-me-down iPhones floating about the world?" Still, these are the fall results gleaned from talking to 6,100 teens, with an average age of 16, from various income groups across 44 states. Also, 17 percent of these teens said they planned to buy an Apple Watch in the next months. That's up from 13 percent in the spring survey. Where do they get the money from? Please don't tell me it's their ever-indulgent parents.
