Do iPhone Users Have More Sex Than BlackBerry or Android Users?

You may think iPhone users are snooty, selfish or perhaps just brainwashed cultists, but a recent somewhat-scientific study shows that they get way more action than you do. According to the popular dating website OK Cupid, iPhone users get the most action, Crackberry addicts come in second and Android users are trailing behind at a lowly–and evidently lonely–third place.

However, the data collected was only for 30-year-olds:

The chart pretty much speaks for itself; I’ll just say that the numbers for all three brands are for 30 year-olds, so it’s not a matter of older, more experienced people preferring one phone to another. We found this data as part of our general camera-efficacy analysis: we crossed all kinds of user behaviors with the camera models and found we had data on the number of sexual partners for 9,785 people with smart phones.

Well, that takes one variable out. Others not addressed that could affect one’s ability to get lucky are income, height and looks (OK Cupid has done studies in the past by having users click on what they found attractive). And we’ve all seen plenty of studies online that show some weak correlations between income and smartphone choice.

So before you get bullish and go running around and sticking this study in your friends’ faces, just remember that you’re not more likely to get laid by virtue of owning an iPhone. It could be that people who tend to score a lot more, for whatever reasons, might also be the type inclined to get iPhones for some of those same reasons.

Remember, the graph represents the number of sexual partners certain smartphone users have had by the age of 30. So it’s not like waving around an iPhone just had all the members of the opposite sex drooling.

Wow, I just realized I took all the fun out of this study… iPhone equals sexy time!

    Or this could be iPhone users lie more as its just people picking a numbe. Or maybe they're just bad at relationships compared to other smartphone owners as its based on number of partners, not number of times they've had sex. Either way it seems stupid to me.

    My god.

    I refuse it. If I were you, I'll prefer some nice videos on my iphone. Thanks to iFunia video converter , helps me enjoy my videos on my iphone and ipad.

    In the other side, some iphone users may be excited, iPhone is more than just a phone. It combines three devices in one: a revolutionary mobile phone, a widescreen iPod, and a breakthrough Internet device. All that and more makes it the best phone you’ll ever use.

    That's just sexual partners. It doesn't necessarily follow that people who have more sexual partners are experiencing more sexual activity.

    Okay, it says there are comments here, but I can't see any. What's the deal?!

    My wife has an iPhone and I have a Captivate (Android). I guess I should start keeping tabs on her then.

    This is the stupidest article I have ever read. You people get paid for this!? Wow, you must be laughing all the way to the f**king bank

  • Marc Flores

    Did you even read the article? Unlike other sites that got bullish with the data from OK Cupid, I think i showed a healthy amount of skepticism and even some cynicism. I made it clear that there is a difference between correlation and causation.

    you all a bunch of gits

  • mozes316

    Just combine the Blackberry Male bar with the Android Male bar… Just switched my Storm for the Incredible. lol jk
    What a stupid story.

    It's because the IPhone was made for the brainless monkeys. If you didn't notice, the more easier and stupid the phone is, the more sex the users get. Why? Because the smart people who uses the 'complicated'(compared to the IPhone) phones have better things to think about.

  • Adan

    This is by far the stupidest thing i've read

  • Guest

    Thats because they are iSexual!

  • Andy Vine

    Perhaps because Android users are more discerning, and won't have sex with everyone who drools over their phone. Also, there are simply more iPhone users.

  • Rick

    Just like a drunk, Iphone users are drunk on Iphone image and hipe… but once they will sober up, they will ask themselves how come they made out with it!

  • wss

    It just means that girls with iphones are Whores. I think that's all it is to it.

  • WAK

    Don't know why I'm trying to be logical about this, but…

    Nearly all women in their twenties in the US can get laid if they want to. Given the average number of sexual partners for an iPhone Girl is twice that of an Android Girl, it must follow that Iphone Girl is easier to get into bed.

    Therefore, we can conclude that the iPhone Girl is probably a slut and is likely to have an STD.

    So if you want to score guys, take a look at the phone she is using – just make sure you have protection!

    This is due to promiscuity in the homosexual community, a market Apple has cornered.

  • Alex

    It's funny how many people were offended by this.Take it easy, it's supposed to be a joke ;)

  • Kyle

    Um, maybe it is because there are millions more iPhone users than Android? Maybe its because people who use the Android phones spend hours longer trying to figure out how to use it instead of getting laid?

    Now that they have flash on the droids, it will get worse because they will be masturbating to porn flash movies instead of getting the real thing?

  • Pio

    The research says that homosexual people have sex more often and more partners than heterosexuals.

    If there are more gay and lesbian users of iPhone, then I am not surprised :D

  • Zorootexten

    You must have an IPhone then.
