A study conducted last year at the Lancaster University by psychologist, Dr David Ellis, was the first scientific study to find a link between a person’s personality and the type of smartphone that they used. Over 500 smartphone owners participated in the study conducted in the United Kingdom.

The study was headed by Dr David Ellis and he said that in this study, they demonstrated for the first time that an individual’s choice of smartphone operating system could provide useful clues when it came to predicting their personality and other individual characteristics.

Heather Shaw from the University of Lincoln who was the co lead on the study said that it was becoming more and more apparent that smartphones were becoming a mini digital version of the user, and many of us don’t like it when other people attempt to use our phones because it can reveal so much about us.

The scientific study compared the users of Android and iPhone smartphones and came up with these facts. Android owners were male, older, honest, agreeable and less likely to break rules for personal gain. On the other hand iPhone users were twice as likely to be women, younger, extroverts, who saw their phones as a status symbol.
