iPhone has become "has-been" among teens

iPhone would not be in the crosshairs of teenagers, says a study. These would be more attracted to devices from other brands.

To know what is trendy, just ask the opinion of teenagers. Thus, a recent survey many teenagers, aged between 13 and 17 years, highlighted that the iPhone has become a "has been" and that they are more attracted to other devices. The causes are various, but most young people are less attracted to the iPhone in particular because they do not want to have the same smartphone as their parents, their teachers, and even their dentist or doctor.
