Apple’s iPhone still popular among teens, iPad interest wanes

Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster today released the results of his semiannual teen survey, which asked 7,500 teenagers about their device preferences. The results show that interest in the iPhone is growing, while the iPad starts to slow. According to Munster’s survey, 61 percent of teens now own an iPhone, up from 55 percent in October 2013 and 48 percent in Spring 2013. In the future, 67 percent of teens plant to buy an iPhone, up slightly from October’s figures. On the tablet side, tablet ownership slips slightly with 66 percent of teens owning an iPad, down from 68 percent in October 2013. 60 percent of teens who don’t yet own a tablet device plan to buy an iPad, while 40 percent expect to buy an Android device. These numbers hint at the growing competition offered by low-cost Android tablets like the Kindle Fire and Nexus 7 which offer web browsing, media capabilities and apps for under $200.
