Interest still strong amongst teens and professionals in iPhone
Posted by Jason T. under Uncategorized
Fortune’s Apple 2.0 weblog posted an article today covering the Piper Jaffray report surveying teens and the ChangeWayve Research survey professionals on their interests/intent to buy. They reported that 16% of teens and 30% of professionals plan to buy iPhones. The percentage amongts teens was down from the period right after the 3G launch, but I expect this to climb back up sharply when they introduce the next version, rumored to be announced at the WWDC this summer. Amongst teens, actual ownership was only at around 8% however. With AT&T’s exclusive deal ending on the iPhone, this could change as companies compete to entice iPhone users away from AT&T.

Exclusive deal ending? I thought it was a five year deal, and we’ve got 3 years left.

I’ve read that it’s over. European exclusivity contracts are expiring as well soon…at least that’s what everyone thinks.
