All the cool teenagers have iphones

Are you a cool teenager? Do you have an iPhone? Well, uh, sorry, cos we’re sure this might not be what you want to hear and all…. but you’re now in the majority!

According to a survey administered by Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster, 55% of teenagers now use an iPhone. This is up compared to 48% in an April survey and 40% this time last year.

“Our most recent semi-annual Teen survey demonstrates that Apple remains the most popular tech brand amongst teens. As of Fall 2013, the iPhone represented nearly 55% all phones used by teens and the iPad family remained at close to 70% share of tablet ownership.

We believe that while Samsung seemingly had some momentum with teens over the past year, Apple’s brand and product quality has enabled it to remain the top choice for teen consumer electronics.”

Here’s the table of results straight from the sauce!

Mmmmm… sauce.

We mean… yay Apple! Way to keep ahead in one of the most important demographics!

And take THAT other smartphone companies for suggesting, like we know you have, that Apple products are for uncool parent type people!

Hey! Everyone’s cool in our books! As long as everyone accepts Bill Murray as their cool King. K? K.

iPad mini for the WIN!

You guys remember a little while back, cloud streaming company Agawi released results from Touchmark benchmarking on Smartphones?

You know, when they test to see which smartphone had the best response time, starting from when your fingertip hit the screen to when the response happened?

The one that the iPhone 5 smashed like plates on anti-plate day?

This one. 

Yeah, that’s the one.

Well they’ve done it again- this time for tablets. And guess what?

The iPad mini and the fourth-generation iPad have the most responsive touch screens! Booya!

In the tests, Agawi tested both iPads, the Microsoft Surface RT, the Kindle Fire HD, the Nexus 7, the Galaxy Tab 3, and the Nvidia SHIELD.

Apple’s iPad mini was the most bestest and Samsung’s Galaxy tab 3 was the least bestest of them all. Sad Face Samsung!

There are the results, thanks to Agawi:

Seems like being the bestest at screen response time is becoming a thing for iOS devices. Kinda like wearing hypercolor in the 90’s. That was iPhone Antidote’s thing we were bestest at. Now our thing is buying stinky iPhones.  There’s a path there somewhere.

What do you guys think, have you used several tablets and experienced a difference in screen response time?
