A new survey supports stereotypes that Android users are more likely to be late tech adopters who skew politically conservative, whereas iPhone/iOS users are more likely liberal, outgoing city-dwellers who make more money, take more vacations and enjoy the finer things in life.

The nonscientific study

In my experience, iPhone users tend to be more interested in form over function, whereas Android folks tend to be more into the nuts and bolts of making things work.

Apple users also seem more inclined to open their wallets just because Steve Jobs said so, whereas Android users are a lot more picky about where their money goes.

This is the same kind of story as the browser story from a few weeks back. It's some goofy, thrown together fluff piece that will be discredited in a week by another equally lame article that states the opposite. They show nothing. The only thing that can be said about iPhone users is that they use an iPhone, and Android users use an Android phone. Anything more is retarded cheerleading so people can feel good about the dumb shit they buy.
