Looking at the kids I know, I think this is definitely one of the reasons they moved to iphones. A second line cheap android is basically a free phone, which is perfect for the first phone for emergencies and such as a kid. They break or lose it, it doesnt really matter. But the experience of having a crappy phone sticks with them and they want to move up to a "real" phone, which means "away from android". Then all the kids get iphones about the time being in contact with friends is important, and suddenly imessage can tell you who is still using the "cheap phone".
