iGen

The generation shaped by the smartphone and by the concomitant rise of social media.

Born between 1995 and 2012, members of this generation are growing up with smartphones, have an Instagram account before they start high school, and do not remember a time before the internet.

iGen’s oldest members were early adolescents when the iPhone was introduced in 2007, and high-school students when the iPad entered the scene in 2010.

A 2017 survey of more than 5,000 American teens found that three out of four owned an iPhone.”
