Although the iPhone 6 is already growing in popularity, the 4S is still in use by many Americans.
New data has recently been released by the Consumer Intelligence Research Partners firm, which has examined certain smartphone trends and that has shown that iPhones are being used now more than ever by Americans.
The data revealed that there are currently an estimated 94 million iPhones being used in the United States.
That smartphone trends figure doesn’t represent the number of devices that are owned, but is instead the number that are actually being used by their owners. By the end of march, there were 94 million iPhones in use by Americans. Among them, the estimate was that 38 million of them were iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus devices. The Consumer Intelligence Research Partners also estimated that there are also still 8 million iPhone 4S devices still being used within the country.

This means that 57.3 percent of the country’s population, and 71.6 percent of all mobile device users will have smartphones from one manufacturer or another.
That same firm has also predicted that the smartphone trends will only continue and that by the close of 2018, there will be 220 million smartphone users in the United States, representing 66.9 percent of the population and 82 percent of all mobile device users. This is very promising for Apple as it experienced quite the successful launch of its last two models of iPhone (the 6 and 6 Plus), but now it is up to the company to continue this popularity as the market becomes increasingly saturated.
This may come in the form of an additional microphone that will be built into the smartphone technology. It was also suggested that the larger version of the smartphone, the Plus, will have a next generation that will have sapphire screens in order to improve the scratch resistance of the device. That said, the analyst claimed that the device would still be required to be able to overcome the current challenges associated with the drop test before that version of the screen would be approved for production for the next
