I came across a humorous and mostly completely bogus article today talking about how smartphones are a reflection of their users. Surprisingly, people have conducted studies on this sort of stereotyping and discovered that there are certain groups of people who tend to flock to certain phones. Of course, some of the findings are not the most positive.
Here’s what some of the research (both bogus and slightly more legit) indicates your phone might say about you:
iPhone OS/Phones
- Heavy mobile users
- extroverted
- enjoy international travel/culture
- enjoy luxuries, including spas and expensive clothes
- like to play sports

- Better self-image
- Ambitious
Blackberry OS
- Business exec
- Make the most calls/texts
- drink more tea and coffee
- Eat out
- loud
- Cheerful
Android OS

- Best cooks
- Polite
- Watch a lot of TV
- Active on Social Media
- Shy
Samsung Phones
