Survey: 91% of Japanese don’t want an iPhone

A survey of 402 Japanese World Wide Web users aged 20 to 49 conducted by a company called iSHARE suggests that less than a tenth of the market is interested in buying an iPhone. iPhone 3G is set to debut in Japan and about six dozen other countries starting July 11.

The survey was conducted shortly after SoftBank Mobile announced it would offer the iPhone in Japan,

but two days before the Worldwide Developer Conference announcement of the iPhone 3G. How that skews the results, I’m not certain.

Of the public surveyed, 36 said they were planning to purchase an iPhone. iSHARE determined, based on other questions it asked, that the iPhone’s non-replaceable battery could be weakening purchasing intent.
