25% Of Teenagers Would Buy An iPhone – Why?

According to iPod Hacks, a survey run by Piper Jaffray found that not only was there a big desire to purchase an iPhone amongst teenagers, 25% indicated that they would purchase one at the standard $500 retail price.

I know that it is an amazing achievement combining an iPod with a phone, but I’m still struggling to see why the iPhone is going to be one of the hottest products of the year. Maybe it’s because the main requirement of any phone that I purchase is that it’s a good phone first, with a good call handling experience and a good text entry system as I’m a big texter.

In the UK, kids are the main drivers behind the billions of SMSs sent, and I just feel that many will become frustrated by the iPhone’s touch screen, even before the poor battery life starts to bug users.

Are you planning on getting an iPhone? What’s the main reason you’ve decided to buy an iPhone rather than a normal phone with a 2GB memory card?
