Report: iOS users more likely to browse on their mobile device than Android owners

33. Evil_SaNz posted on 02 Jun 2012, 17:18 3

No, just because iOS users need more time to view a webpage due small screen size. Additionaly, people that are used to view desktop user agent sites get lost in forced mobile or tablet agent sites.

Not to mention SIri, you can bet its data traffic is 100% included in the above chart and skyrockets data usage.

And iCloud?

Woah, excuse after excuse after excuse.

I don't think how much time you spend at a particular website plays any effect at all. Doesn't google have it's own cloud services? And does Siri really account for 3x the mobile browsing?

Siri doesn't account for any web browsing because it tracks browser traffic. He's obviously one of the fanatics

I don't think that Siri and Cloud usage are counted in this statistic.

Hmm...it won't be adopted widely before iPhone releases. Best example, The new iPad launch caused almost every carrier (Asia) to adopt 4G technology. Bottom line is, technology may exist for a few years but before Apple adopt it, carriers will unlikely introduce it.

So yeah, puuuuuurty sure 4G is a standard in Android but Apple is the trend setter.

I tried an iPhone 4S to compare it to my Droid RAZR. Screen was too tiny. No LTE. I passed at that point. BTW, the price for the RAZR was $100 more than for the iPhone. It wasn't price that moved me away from the iPhone.

Even as an Android user, LTE is a non issue. If I need LTE on a phone, I'm doing something wrong. If you aren't running a server on it, what's the need for all that bandwidth?

29. Tadoya posted on 02 Jun 2012, 16:58 2

I'd like to hit your like button if you know what I mean ^_~! On a serious note, the amount of users who use iOS is a smaller amount than the users of Android. Really it's just simple math, for example if there are 10 people with an iOS device and 9 people are using the internet constantly that would be 90% of the people. On the flip side if there were 100 people with an Android device and 9 of them were using the internet constantly, that would only be 9% of the people. So unless everything was even on the "amount of users" front these numbers are all but inconclusive. But diving even deeper...Why do you guys care enough to argue about it?

And the network's websites are listed where? Just because they make a claim, doesn't mean that it is true. I could claim that the sun rises in the west and sets in the east, but that doesn't mean it really does.

Yes, I know, I was just searching for info too and that's why I have posted these links here. I also would like to see a list of sites.

Sun doesn't rise or set at all, that the Earth is spinning! ;)

I agree, a lot of the trolling here attacks Apple users as technologically ignorant, but in actuality A LOT of android users don't really use any of the features of a smartphone either.

40. tedkord posted on 02 Jun 2012, 17:51 5

My wife doesn't. She uses her droid 2 for texting, calls, facebook updates and angry birds. She seldom breaks 100mb per month. But then, she didn't want a smartphone to begin. I only got her one because the promotion I got required all phones on the account to be smartphones.

I, on the other hand, have gone as high as 12Gb in a month. I surf, stream Netflix, YouTube, slingbox, email, banking, stream Pandora, etc...I'm on the phone now typing this. No Facebook, though. I f**king hate Facebook. Here's a hint - I don't care if you're heading to the store to buy chicken. Your life isn't that interesting.

I use a smartphone or tablet 90% of the time for personal use. Very rarely need a PC anymore. At work I use a PC all day.
