Teenagers: Apple no longer cool, Microsoft Windows 8 Surface tablet is cool

[froggyboy604]

"Teens are telling us Apple is done. Apple has done a great job of embracing Gen X and older [Millennials], but I don’t think they are connecting with Millennial kids. [They’re] all about Surface tablets/laptops and Galaxy."

The Microsoft Windows 8 Pro Surface tablet is probably the best tablet for social networking, taking pictures, recording video, and editing pictures and video on the go, so it is not surprising that the many teens who are into social networking are more into the Surface since the Surface has a keyboard, and trackpad cover.

Plus, teens can use Photoshop, and other photo editors to make their pictures look nicer then they really are before uploading them to Facebook, and Tumblr.

Sounds like Apple needs to change how they plan to do things.

All the parents I know constantly complain about having to buy (high price) Apple products for their kids. Eh to each their own.

I think this survey was taken recently, so most teens who can afford Apple products probably already have at least an iPhone 4 and or iPad 2/Mini, and they want a Microsoft Surface Pro to play PC powerful games like Star craft 2, and Diablo on medium to high settings depending on how fast the Surface Pro is, and Kids are more into social networking these days, and having a tablet with a keyboard will let them post faster.

They probably want a Surface Pro tablet because they don't have one, and they already have an iOS product or something similar like Google Android which is not very different from Apple's iOS except for some exclusive apps like CSR Racing only on iOS.
