This stat seems wrong. It suggests 90% of teenagers have parents who bought an iPhone and handed it down or bought a new one for a kid (or the kid worked for a long time and saved up, etc). So many people have basic phones because of their budget that this seems way off.

Maybe I'll read the article now.

Edit - Read it but still skeptical. Study summary here - https://www.pipersandler.com/teens
