I seem to recall reading that iPhone users typically use more data than Android users. That suggests that iPhone users are probably more tech savvy.
It is puzzling that Apple gets excoriated in the press for every mishap while Android is given a pass. Everyone likes cutting down the leader, I guess. Just my 2¢.

Articles like that should let us know what kind of people they're using for their stats. Just because you buy an Android or iOS or Windows phone doesn't mean you're going to learn how to use most of its features or JB it or flash rom. It seems that when people have the iOS vs Android debates its all about my Android can do more than your iPhone or how many people buy whatever phone. I think those of us that are actually using their phones and want layers of folders etc, aren't the majority of users. I'd like to see an article that talks about the majority of users, what they buy in phones, what they use them for and how many of the majority of cellphone buyers actually learn how to use their phones for more than texting and FB.

Apple is more like the scientist who cures cancer, only to hear complaints of "why didn't you do that last year?" and "so you're not going to cure my obesity? What a jerk!"

Just this week, CNET mocked a 3D image of a plane appearing on a tarmac as "bad news for passengers." Really? Is somebody going to get lost underneath that jet on the runway?
