Interesting figure that comes out of the article: 87% of US teens prefer iPhones. Also the explanations given aren’t quite surprising, I guess it’s mostly because of iMessage.

It’s actually hilarious how we allowed consumerism to take us this far and that we have now peer pressure over smartphones.
