Summary: Android users are more honest than iPhone users say psychologists, in a study published this week which is the first to find a link between personality and smartphone type.

Android users are more honest than iPhone users say psychologists, in a study published this week which is the first to find a link between personality and smartphone type.

Four out of five UK adults now have a smartphone with the market split 50/50 between the two rival operating systems.

Smartphones' connection with our personalities is so marked that psychologists say smartphones have become an extension of ourselves...[/

You're a very conflicted individual?

How about having neither?

The obvious answer would be you have no personality, but I know that to be untrue.

I have neither, and probably have no personality, as well.  :whistle:

You and EC are two of the most personality endowed people I (virtually) know!

I'm that, too, but equally anti-social.  ^-^

My android says that its what the woman who gave it to me owned. She's a 70 year old dreadlock wearing liberal hippie but a nice enough woman aside from her politics.

Male
Older
More honest
More agreeable
Less likely to break rules for personal gain
Less interested in wealth and status
Well, other than the older part (though I've been called an "old soul" before), they've nailed my personality traits pretty well. And yes, my phone's an Android.

It means I've got a phone and sometimes I've even got a few bars.

Actually I ditched my landline and use my wifi calling to make up for the lack of decent cell service.

Heh... And the flip phone was pay 2 play, and I let it go dormant... so right now, I ain't even got that.
Thought I'd go smart phone, which is why I let it go dormant... but so far, I ain't been able to justify it at all.
If I DO, I will get nothing but txt from my kids... This way, they have to call me up and actually speak words n' sh*t.

My flip phone was $20 at Dollar General. My smartphone was $34 at Family Dollar. The pre-paid plan for the smartphone is the same $45 dollars a month as for the flip phone but now I get 3G of data each month along with unlimited calling. That's 2G of data with the plan and an extra 1G for auto-payment. And the phone has Wi-Fi.

Talk about out of the loop.  AT&T just notified my hubby that his cell phone is so old it will not longer be supported.  He was told to go to the AT&T store for a free upgrade.  He did, and now he has an upgraded phone......a flip phone.  Free from AT&T and the minutes are free too.

iPhone. Big Apple fan boy and stock holder. However I think the magic with Apple has gone since Steve Jobs died.

Macs use to be cool machines and I loved them. To me, they had a personality that windows didn't.

The new machines and computers just don't seem magical anymore.
