The data from Black Friday continues to keep rolling in.

Those sites brought in 9.32 million visitors with two-thirds of them coming from an iOS flavored handset while one-third came from an Android powered phone.
Of the 174,111 orders that these sites received, over 70% came from an iPhone while 29% came from an Android model. And those packin' an iPhone spent a little more on average than Android owners.
