Psychologists view smartphones as extensions of our personalities. Not only can they be customized to our tastes, but your choice of device—Android or iPhone—can reveal telling traits. A recent study linking personality to smartphone type found Android users to be more honest than iPhone users. Here are the other key findings:
iPhone users tend to be:
- Younger
- More than twice as likely to be women
- Viewing their phone as a status symbol
- More outgoing
- Less concerned about device preferences
In contrast, Android users are:
- More often male
- Mature
- More honest
- More enjoyable
- Less likely to break rules for personal gain
- Less interested in wealth and status
