"And None af dem har et iPhone fordi de selv customs me: 'My dad kill an iPhone,'" the executive said. "There's an interesting thing that's going on in the market. The iPhone Becomes a Little Less Cool Than it was. They Were Carrying HTCs. They Were Carrying Samsung. They Were even Carrying nogle Chinese Manufacturer's devices, "says Fichter.

Fichter somewhat unscientific survey backed by several studies actually show that Android users are slightly younger than iPhone users, which may also be linked with the relatively high price of the iPhone.
