Results of a new study reveal several interesting personality quirks about iPhone users. When it comes to relationships, they judge people more on their gadgets than their university education.
According to Retrevo's
Gadgetology report on iPhone users, there are several reasons to run in the opposite direction if a potential partner pulls out one of those sleek, slim devices.
Apparently, in addition to the ability to source directions, restaurant reviews, and play
instantly-addictive jumpy games, iPhone users share some interesting personality characteristics that may make them poor relationship material.
The light-hearted study results by the shopping website says that iPhone users judge people negatively if they have out-of-date gadgets, and furthermore, consider someone who has cool gadgets to be more attractive as a potential dating partner than someone with a university education. That's all well and good if you have an iPhone, but if it is the case, be prepared for the dump-via-text: 1 in 3 iPhone users has texted or emailed their significant other to break up.
Other interesting observations from the study include that iPhone users are twice as likely to view adult material on their device than Blackberry users. Also they consider themselves to be more intellectual, extroverted, and media savvy than users of other devices.
