Recent research by U.K. colleges into 500 people’s attitude toward their smartphones discovered different characteristics in the personalities of iPhone and Android users.
According to the research, iPhone users tended to have lower levels of honesty and humility, higher levels of emotions and self-consciousness and more open and outgoing nature compared to Android users.
iPhone users were 2.25 times more likely to be female than Android users, while the average age of iPhone users was likely to be younger ― the former rating 26.9 years as against 31.4.
The research showed that iPhone users were relatively inclined to regard their device as a status symbol.
They also tended to avoid devices that others preferred and were more likely emotional and self-conscious.
