iPhones hog much more data than other smart phones
February 15th, 2010On average, iPhone users consume 273 MBs of data per month. That compares with 54 MBs for consumer users of Blackberrys and 150 MBs for consumers who use other brands of smart phones. Another 12 percent of iPhone users use at least 500 MBs per month with their crush of emails, Web surfing, and other activity related to the device’s more than 100,000 available software applications. And about a third of those data junkies use more than 1 GB of data.
More than 80 percent of non-business Blackberry users eat up less than 50 MB of data per month. Most users of other non-iPhone, non-Blackberry smart phones, 54 percent, similarly consume less than 50 MB of data each month. But fewer than 20 percent of iPhone owners are so frugal with their data consumption.
