Marion repeatedly (and with other insults) claims the iPhone owners are unwashed, uneducated, slaves to Apple marketing.
In my prior post I cited a study showing a 43.7% gap in the income of
iPhone and Android phone owners. iPhone has the higher income level.
If that is true then the higher income of iPhone owners must not be an indication of education level.
We can fact-check that too.
https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2025/09/education-and-income.html September 09, 2025
All 2004-2023 income statistic trends are adjusted upward to the 2024
level using the DOL C-CPI-U.
"The Current Population Survey Annual Social and Economic Supplement
(CPS ASEC) released today measures educational attainment of
householders age 25 and older and shows education has a significant
impact on household income."
"For example, the median income of households headed by someone with a bachelorrCOs degree or higher was $132,700, more than double the $58,410 median income of those with householders with a high school degree but
no college in 2024, according to a new report released today."
Further, the same statistic for those not completing high school was
$36,900.
Ergo, there is a strong positive correlation between income and mobile
phone choice, with higher incomes strongly favoring iPhone over Android.
There is also strong positive correlation between income and education
level. Taken together this indicates that iPhone owners are both
financially better off and have higher education levels than Android
phone owners.
Portraying iPhone owners as uneducated heathens is 180 degrees from the
truth.
Disclaimer: Not all Android owners are poor and uneducated. These are statistical averages over millions of us.
Refute that Marion. Hint, he cannot, so no reply.
