Survey Finds Android Users Are More Self Concious Than iPhone Users [Infographic]
It’s time for another great infographic! These things always seem to make statistics that much more fun. Today, this one comes to us from Telenav who conducted a national survey on multiple platform users (like iOS, Android and Blackberry) and it lead to a few interesting conclusions. Let’s get started.
First off, apparently a whole third of Americans would rather give up sex than their cellphone (guilty!) but when it comes a toothbrush or computer — I can tell you I would not be one of the 20-ish percent who would give those up for my Evo 3D. Not a chance.
When comparing OS’s (this should be fun), it would seem Android users are cheaper than iOS user with 63% of Androids never paying more than $1 for an app. Personally, I think I’ve spent more than $300 in the Android Market since its inception.
Although they spend more for their apps, iPhone users have worse manners however, with 34% of them regularly checking their phones at the dinner table (a personal pet-peeve of mine). C’mon guys! Is it that hard to put your phone down for 10 minutes (I’m a fast eater)?
Oh, I like this one! With all the talk of “iPhone users are so trendy and think of their phones as a fashion statement,” it turns out 50% of Android users (vs iPhone’s 35%) feel their phone reflects their personal sense of style. This means, it’s Android users who are more self-conscious and to an extent, define themselves by the OS in their pocket. Actually, this makes sense seeing how many die-hard Android fanboys have this superiority complex when it comes to other OS’s.
So let’s get this conversation started! I’m curious to see what you guys are guilty of in this survey. How much do you normally spend on apps in the Market? Do you feel like your phone/OS defines who you are? Would you rather give up your toothbrush of your Android device for a week?
