Do you own an iPhone? Then you're SMARTER than an Android user: Infographic reveals link between education and phone choice

Study found states with more college graduates,

Article is associating college education with intelligence - assumption denied.

Android here too, but only because I’m not savvy about cell phone technology and Walmart had a deal on the phone/plan.

Ah, guess you could actually call me unedumacated then:) I prefer “Could care less about a phone’s capabilities other than for making calls....hate learning techie stuff.

Liberals use colleges as indoctrination centers.
Most college graduates use iPhones.
Therefore, most iPhone users are indoctrinated by liberalism.

See, I can play this game also.

How does "iphone app traffic" get tracked? And where is the information available?

I would think that is proprietary info to the traffic carrier.

I had two iPhones and just switched to Android.

I guess I’m smart x 3 :)

(PS - I would have been happy to stay with Apple but they seem hell-bent on driving their users insane with bloatware OS updates and fixing what isn’t broken).

All of the iphone users i knew are now on Android.


Funny. I’ve seen just the opposite. All of the Android users I knew, have switched to iPhones...and love them.

iPhone 5C user here.

First “smart phone” I had years ago, was a Motorola Que, then a Blackberry w/the goofy little roller ball thingy. Was given discount deal on those phones from my former (real estate) employer. Both had full keyboards. When I quit RE I was “grandmothered” into my sweet (cheap) data/phone plan. Got my first iPhone and never looked back.

I can do EVERYTHING net related from the palm of my hand. And it can always be with me. I can go weeks, and never touch our home computer. Once you master the touchscreen, it’s the easiest system to use—everything makes “sense.”

I stopped reading at "Infographic reveals link between education and phone choice" in the first sentence.

As if education is any indication....... what dorky assumption.

Just a guess: Apple central servers?

A lot of it was caused by Google’s Game “Ingress”.
It wasn’t available for iPhone to start with, they just ‘Had’ to play it...:)

Since when is Alaska loaded with college graduates?

Vermont and Montana aren’t leaders in that category either:

(But yeah, iPhones are a relatively expensive, snob-appeal product, whereas Androids are made at all price points, including for the masses.)

How was intelligence gauged? Could they survive without technology? Because they have smart phone does that make them smart or dependent?

Had an iPhone for years, now have a droid. Not necessarily better just different.

I have 2 higher degrees and what I’ve seen in the process of getting them doesn’t support a strong corelation between intelligence and diplomas,

All that said, Mac users thin they are in an IQ club and the people swayed by such things think owning a MAC or iPhone proves that they are smart.
