Reports have shown that the iPhone has generated less revenue than other smartphones. Though this may come as a surprise to some, it is in line with the trends seen in the smartphone market over the past few years.

The iPhone 12 mini is the one phone that has sold the least. Yet, the iPhone still holds tremendous popularity.

The price point is what discourages some from purchasing the device, and in today’s economy, this seems to be a sticking point.

¨I think that all phones do the same thing, and I can’t see spending thousands of dollars for a phone that does the same thing that a two hundred dollar phone does,¨ said M.E.Di.A Magnet Coordinator Mrs. Harris. ¨ I have an android and I prefer cheap. I'm not going to spend my money like that and that's not what I do.¨

There is still a strong iPhone and loyal customer base who aggressively purchase the phone and all of its accessories.

Carson High School sophomore Adrien Corona said, “I think they´re reliable. They [are] more user-friendly [even if] more expensive.¨

Overall, the customizing ability, freedom, and sleek design make the iphone the phone to have for most young people. Ideally, a price drop would make the phone even better but when it comes to cellular devices, the iphone is the cream of the crop.
