The share of iPhone for today's teenagers is much higher than the regular population. Much of it from the natural progression from old iPod Touches, where they built their accounts, apps etc.

Looks like 85% share in the US: http://www.pipersandler.com/2col.aspx?id=287&releaseid=18206

It’s not about smartphones, same thing was years ago with “I bought my child a PC, and now he’s stop doing anything...”. It’s bad parenting, addictive social media’s or games that’s responsible for that, not device itself.
