Is Apple's iPhone No Longer Cool To Teens?

They don’t want to same device as their mom, dentist, and coffee barista. They want the latest, greatest phone that speaks to their generation.
Also working against Apple’s iPhone is the popular parent tradition to give their teens the old model when they upgrade their devices. Samsung and Android devices are less expensive, which makes it more likely that parents are willing to buy a new one for the teens, versus handing them a new iPhone.
In other words, Apple products are too expensive. Sometimes greed comes back to haunt you.
