The data was taken from a random sampling of 275,000 Pageonce users, and includes at least 5,000 users per platform. And it could mean a whole bunch of things! Either iPhone users spend more money on average, or they have more debt on average, or the simple averaging masks extreme expenditures at the high and low end. BlackBerry and iPhone are arguably the most commonly used enterprise phones, so that might have something to do with racking up higher monthly charges.
The study also took a look at monthly phone bill charges:
interesting graphs, you would think the monthly phone bill on iphones would have a higher average than the others
ReplyDeleteGot to love statistics
ReplyDeletecall me technologically retarded but after all that time I still no see not a single reason to own a high tech phone whatsoever.
ReplyDeleteI find it a little odd how nokia phones aren't mentioned... are they really a dying company?
ReplyDelete... I hope not because they make fucking awesome phones
nice post, thanks for the info
ReplyDeleteHmm... Glad I went with Microsoft. Better than apple and saves me money. Or maybe... maybe I should have bought an iPhone so that I could have so much money to spend. A good idea, yes?
ReplyDeleteWow. I have trouble spending the minimum $10/month on my pay as you go. Are they all teenage girls or something?
ReplyDeletecooooool.
ReplyDeleteNot gonna lie, I spend a lot of money, most of it on bills, but I'll usually spend a lot of money on apps too.
ReplyDeletenah I got an LG chocolate 3. I love this phone.
ReplyDeleteif i had the money for an iphone, id probably buy other stuff too..
ReplyDeleteToo bad that this is a load of crap and there are still plenty of iPhone users spending less than everyone else a month. Statistics... gotta love them huh

ReplyDeleteobvious that Iphones are stupidly expensive though....
ReplyDeleteLet me know when Skype releases a cell phone that uses a Linux OS. Until then, cellphones are all wastes of money.
