They just want to have an iPhone because their friends also have an iPhone...
Comment on Android isn't cool with teenagers, and that's a big problem

Teenagers might think they want an iPhone, but not everyone has the money for one and paying the bills. Whether they could make life changes to make more money is debatable, but the fact remains that not everyone does have $1000 to throw at a phone.
Because of this, the cheaper yet surprisingly still usable alternative, android phas the larger marketshare. Since Google makes money on ads it’s better for them to hand out more phones for cheap or in same cases for free, when a manufacturer makes a phone, when all those users see ads on YouTube and Google.

And if your biggest userbase is teenagers you are on shaky ground. Trends change quickly and as soon as they have to pay for it themselves it’s goodbye luxury item for a lot of them.

My $1200 Android phone is considered budget because it’s not Apple.
