A semi-annual study has shown that iPhone ownership has surged amongst surveyed teenagers around the globe.

The study, conducted by analysis firm, Piper Jaffray found that, as of Fall 2012, 40 percent of teens own an iPhone, up from the 23 percent the year before.

“We believe it is a positive sign for the power of the iPhone among younger users that Apple was able to expand its market share with teens despite no new product launches between our Spring and Fall 2012 surveys,” analysts Gene Munster and Douglas Clinton wrote.

The numbers are expected to rise even more, as 62 percent of teens said that an iPhone would be their next phone; with 22 percent saying that they’ll opt for an Android device.
