Android users vs. iPhone users: a Comparison
16
Aug
The mobile industry has changed once again with Google acquiring Motorola Mobility. The market is now very much a game of Android vs. iPhone. While both Android and iPhone users love technology, there are generally some differences among people who are a part of these groups. Hunch.com has put together an infographic that demonstrates the major differences between Android device owners and iPhone fans:
According to Hunch, iPhone owners are 18% more likely to be women and 27% more likely to live in a city. Hunch’s study suggests that the iPhone crowd are a tad bit older and more sophisticated (many of them with a graduate degree). In addition, Android users are 80% more likely to have only a high school diploma.
From our own surveys, it does seem that conservatives better identify with Android with iPhone. As this model suggests, Android users are 20% more likely to be conservatives. Not surprisingly, those who make a better living are more likely to own an iPhone rather than an Android device.
Here is a short summary of how iPhone fans compare against Android users:

Der Niedergang von Nokia hat sich im zweiten Quartal spürbar beschleunigt, und der Blackberry-Hersteller RIM findet keinen Halt. Auch die meisten Computerhersteller leiden. Der Grund hat in allen Fällen nur einen Namen: Apple....(read more)
A gadget’s life: From gee-whiz to junk

A very cool look at the cost and popularity of gadgets since the 1980s – covering phones, computers, TV, video, and audio. You can clearly see the “digital revolution” start around 2000, killing off earlier technologies; it’s also interesting to see the cost of any gizmo fall over time (the circles get smaller).

Apple is doing it wrong, Apple is living on borrowed time! Apple will Fail Again!
This idea, this meme, isn’t new. For more than 30 years we’ve heard a number of versions of the “Apple is doomed” requiem.
December 12th 1980 — the day of Apple’s IPO, coincidentally — I’m in Geneva, signing my employment agreement with Apple. My mission: start Apple France. Back in Paris I meet a chorus of naysayers: You’re deranged. Look at the respectable companies you’ve worked for: HP, Data General, Exxon Office Systems. (They don’t know that I can’t wait to leave the latter.) And now you’re going to work for these California hippies? They don’t have CP/M; the Apple ][ has a 40-column screen and lacks standard 8” floppies...and Fortune Systems is coming up with a Wang emulator that will wipe Apple off the planet’s surface!
