REASONS WHY COLLEGE STUDENTS PREFER IPHONES

Follow @USERNAME

According to a recent survey,
the majority of college students in Nigeria prefer iPhones to other types of smartphones, including Android, Blackberry, Windows, and Palm. This trend of preferring iPhones isn't
just isolated to Nigeria. All over the world, you'll find a good number of
university students glued to their iPhones.




Apple products, particularly iPhones and iPads, are very appealing to young,
educated people. There's no definite answer as to why this is. However, there
are a few reasons why iPhones may be so popular among the university crowd.
Apple's smartphone creation likely appeals to college students due to the
following factors:

IT LOOKS GOOD

There's nothing sleeker and simpler
than an iPhone. No matter how hard Samsung tries to create attractive,
minimalist smartphones, they just can't compete. iPhones, like most Apple
products, have an aesthetic appeal that simply draws people in.

ITS APP COLLECTION IS ARGUABLY BETTER

Even though Android devices are
becoming increasingly popular, there's still a larger collection of apps
available to iPhone users. Additionally, more developers create apps for
iPhones than any other types of smartphones. College students crave the best
educational and entertainment apps. So, choosing an iPhone probably seems like
a logical choice to many of them.

IT'S "COOL"

People recognize iPhones
immediately, and iPhone users are able to bond over their iPhone-specific
smartphone experiences. A huge part of what Apple does is market its products
as hip and trendy. Many university students probably feel as though they ought
to have iPhones to be a part of the "cool" crowd at school.

IT PROVIDES A MORE USER-FRIENDLY EXPERIENCE

Everyone knows that Apple products
in general are super user-friendly. Using an Android smartphone is a little bit
more complex than using an iPhone, and other types of smartphones often seem to
be a little bit less effective at performing essential tasks than the iPhone.
Ultimately, users want their phones to intuitively do all the work for them.
iPhones may not have the most impressive specs, but they're unbelievably easy
to use.



These are just some of the reasons college students might prefer using iPhones.
As Android smartphones continue to become more and more popular, we'll have to
see if the preferences of college students change. If you're a student at a
university or college, which smartphone do you use or wish you had? Feel free to share your opinion.
