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.

By the time you're 20 you'll be using Arch Linux and self-hosting everything!

I'm 2 and I use a smartphone that only executes Fortran through punch cards.

I'm just gotten to used to Motorolas twist to activate camera and now that I live in the city and durability isn't as much of a concern I'm thinking of getting a foldable
