Is the iphone still popular? I'm seeing less and less iPhones these days and apparently they now have less than 10% of the market.
I'm always seeing people with iPhones but not so much iPhone 5's due to cost and demand !
The younger generation seen to have moved primarily back to Blackberries !!
like i said on the other thread, we need to bring iphone exclusivity back. i remember the days when you have an iphone and ur the *****.
I'm not sure where you're from and who you're defining as "young people," but I will say that, working on a college campus and being around 17-24 year olds all the time, Apple products are pretty ubiquitous, both OS X and iOS devices. In a room of about 20 college students, you can easily pick out 6 or 7 iPhones of the people who have their phones out, to about 2 or 3 Samsung GS3s or other Android devices. Blackberries are exceedingly rare.

I think by young people, were referring to under 18s.
And like I said in the other thread, iPhone exclusivity would ultiamtely man fewer apps, fewer accessories, fewer people to use iMessage/Facetime/other iCloud features with. Exclusivity is exactly what Apple doesn't want. And it's better to have a device that can be used WITH other people who have the device than to just have an rare piece of metal and glass that does little, but you can brag about how you threw your money away on it.

Ever look on Twitter lately? Lot of under-18s using iOS devices there. If their parents aren't buying them iPhones, it's usually iPod touches.
Not sure where you are located but in the US the iPhone has around 50% of the market. On campus at my college just about everyone that I see has an iPhone in addition to MacBook pros and iPads. It's mostly the 4/4s though rather than the 5. Women especially seem to love the iPhone. The few people I see with other smartphones are usually males but the females just about all have an iPhone.

the iPhone is still popular it's just the market is growing. i.e. apple's sales can still stay the same in the millions even though their market share can diminish. i have no idea what the real market share is though because the numbers mean nothing to me. a figure of 10-25% marketshare and 50% of cellular data use sounds right to me. (people tend to use iPhone more, perhaps a signal that many of the android competition are cheap phones which aren't really designed for internet).
I'm in rural Pennsylvania and up until about two years ago, most people here still used basic phones. Since then all my friends in high school now use iPhones (a lot of them are getting the iPhone 4 because of the free factor) and I know of a few that have the iPhone 5, including me. I would say about 2/3 of the people at my local college also use iPhones. A lot of people here work on farms and other physically draining environments so a significant number of males use the Casio G'zOne Commando for its perceived durability, too. I rarely see a GS3, maybe about one a week. I only know one girl in my school that uses one and it looks kind of dumb being a huge phone with her relatively tiny self. lol
