Ever wonder what the real difference between Android and iPhone users? According to the hump of Android users are 10 percent more likely to be male skew younger and 20 per cent more likely to be politically conservative. As you can see from the infographic below, they have good income, but iPhone users tend to have higher household incomes. Android users as "a little more likely to be pessimists" introverts, and 29 per cent more likely to save their money.

iPhone owners more likely to be optimistic, extroverts are self-admittedly a "high maintenance." they are 26 percent more likely to spend money on shiny objects. They are also a 27 per cent more likely to consider themselves leaders than followers and 50 per cent more likely to be early adopters. Unlike Android users are 31 percent more likely to be later adopters and 57 per cent more likely to prefer ugly device, a full-featured. "there is also a much higher chance of Android users are PC than Macs. Just sayin'.

How hunch learns all of these correlations? Data are based on the 15.818 users guess who answered the question, "what type of pf the operating system uses your cell phone?" among users of the hump is 32 per cent and 21 per cent of Android, Apple, which is a Panel from a more mainstream market statistics such as Nielsen, which puts the market Android smartphones at 39 per cent in the United States and the iPhone by 28 per cent, and the sample size must be large enoughto draw some conclusions on Android and iPhone users. (Or at least the ones who answer questions at a guess).

That hunch data claims to know about Android and iPhone users on the basis of those very same people who responded 80 million other questions? Well Android owners are 12% more likely to have pets and 71% more likely to have never travelled outside their home countries. That makes them homebodies? The chances are much better that the iPhone users have traveled abroad and used some frequent flyer miles last year. Their breakfast cereal choices are more likely to be or Kashi GOLEAN crunch Crispix than corn POPs. And they are more terrestrial than steak.

Remember that these characteristics are based on probability and will not be true for any iPhone or Android user. I would much rather eat steak than sushi and guess what phone I use most regularly. As we all know, if it is in an infographic it must be true.
