Smarter people use Iphones -Study

[P3ĮÑ]

Are you an iPhone user? Congratulations! You're probably smarter than the Android owner sitting next to you.

A new study conducted by online advertising network Chitika found that states with more college graduates tend to also have higher iPhone sales.

Alaska (66%), Montana and Vermont have the largest percentage of iPhone users. New Mexico (41%), Iowa and Delaware have the lowest share of iPhone sales per capita.

Notably, Chitika found that increased wealth is also linked to greater iPhone sales -- but since college degrees also correlate with higher incomes, Chitika says those results are redundant.

Other studies have found similar results. Rich, white males tend to buy more iPhones, particularly in the first weeks that they go on sale.

In the first month of sales, nearly 80% of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus buyers in the United States were male, and more than 60% made over $75,000 a year, according to Slice, a company that tracks consumer purchases.

The study also notes that iPhone sales correlate to population density. The more densely populated the state, the greater the chance that iPhone sales will be higher in that state.

On a whole, Google's (GOOGL, Tech30) Android sales are significantly higher than Apple's (AAPL, Tech30) sales, but the iPhone remains the single most popular smartphone in the United States. More than 42% of U.S. smartphones are iPhones, according to comScore. Runner-up Samsung commands 28% of the U.S. market.

Yet it's important to take Chitika's results with a grain of salt. Even Chitika admits that its results "are not comprehensive." Because the company focused on states and not smaller regions, such as cities or neighborhoods, the results lack "a great deal of granularity."

Since when did college education=being smart?

 

[Kirokill]

Because it is smaller in size compared to technology nowadays creating cinema screen sized mobiles.
I'd still use an old nokia but I can't really have much communication without whatsapp. And I need the information. I need it greatly.

I'm more of a guy who prefers not to be limited, and IOS fails me in that regard.

I thought the whole point to a college education was to become smarter

More than enough people sleep/luck their way through University. Also I've seen a sh!tton of morons at least on my campus.

Only college graduates are dumb enough to believe that graduating from college is an indicator of intelligence.

This creature graduated with a Masters' Degree and insists that ISIS can be stopped with job applications.

This creature also graduated from College and seems to be unaware that both the Blackberry and Iphone can interface with two different e-mail accounts.

I would argue that college graduation correlates strongly with intellectualism, which shows a negative correlation with problem solving and reasoning capacity.

Case in point - the idea that more iphone sales in states with higher college graduation indicates a higher intelligence of iphone users. The illogical leaps made in that study are so obscene that it could have only come from a cultural studies department.

Try building a jet engine off of that type of logic and let me know how long you live.

These people can't be trusted with something as important as ideas.

That makes a lot of sense, because Androids are >>>>>>>> iphones, and dumber people are clearly more likely to use the former, since the more needy people in society need more high-quality, special equipment to function. :bdpf:

A lame marketing move by apple. Only iDiots will believe this.

Hmph.

Apple users aren't very tech savvy, so this research is pretty much a common argument for ur everyday macpheg :bdpf:

So not only a classist article; this is also a racist and sexist one.

That quoted paragraph say it all. Androids come with varios prices; some are cheaper some are more expensive than iphones. Pirating is easier with androids too; instead of dealing with itunes crap people who have androids can put what they want in it easier. I do not get "the ones who understand tech are prefering androids" logic it is true but i used both iphone and android and the latter is more friendly for the ones who are not good with tech like me. Anyway all in all androids are cheaper, can be improved in cheaper ways so they can be bought by people with less income.

That's why people who are undergraduates or could not get higher education have more tendency to buy androids, they do not have finances which can support them unlike university graduates. Also white males can buy iphones more because on average they are in better economic conditions than people of color and/or women.

So rich people buy iphones more compared to people with less money. Nothing new.
