Researchers from Lancaster University in the UK asked more than 500 smartphone users to answer questions about themselves and their attitude toward their phone. They found that iPhone users were more likely to be female, younger, extroverts and to see their phone as a status object.
Meanwhile, the study revealed that Android users were more likely to be male, older, honest and agreeable. Also, they reported being less interested in wealth and status.
“In this study, we demonstrate for the first time that an individual’s choice of smartphone operating system can provide useful clues when it comes to predicting their personality and other individual characteristics,” said Dr. David Ellis of Lancaster University.
In the United States, Androids and iPhones are both incredibly popular. According to data released by comScore in early 2016, Android was the top smartphone platform with 52.7% market share and Apple had 43.9%.
Weighing the pros and cons
As you probably know, Clark is 100% Team Android. His main problem with the iPhone is the astronomical cost: $649 for the newly-released iPhone 7. If you’re on a budget, there are a number of excellent Android phones for under $200. You just have to be okay with having a good (but maybe not excellent) phone.
While these budget devices don’t have all the bells and whistles that a new iPhone has, you can get the Moto G4 (one of Clark’s favorites) for $149 and bring it to any carrier. Republic Wireless is a good example. They’ll sell you a $20 a month plan for that phone. So you could get a new Android phone and two years of service for $629, about the cost of a new iPhone.
We know that numerous people reading this are still going to get an iPhone anyway. We understand. It’s a excellent phone! But you can save yourself a lot of money by waiting for the cost of the newest model to drop or even buying a refurbished iPhone through a “secret” page on Apple’s website.
