A new study released by the Consumer Intelligence Research Partners reveals that iPhone buyers are younger, wealthier, and more educated than Samsung buyers, reports Fortune.

The report also found that 20% of iPhone customers over the past year had switched from Android; whereas, only 7% of Samsung buyers had switched from the iPhone.

Key Findings:
● 42% of Apple's U.S. customers between July 2012 and June 2013 were upgrading from another iPhone
● 43% of Samsung's customers had previously owned an Android phone, but not necessarily one made by Samsung
● Samsung drew more first-time smartphone buyers upgrading from so-called feature phones (37%) than Apple did (26%)
● Among buyers who switched brands, Apple took three times as many from Samsung (33%) as Samsung took from Apple (11%)
● Among switchers, Samsung drew more customers from HTC, Motorola (GOOG), and Nokia (NOK), while Apple drew more from Blackberry (BBRY)

@Steve, so can any Samsung smartphone, for a lot of time now. The kind of standard feature only Apple users could marvel at. @Trolololo, you don't even know when to use your or you're. Stop commenting, you're proving the graphs above wrong.

Oh boy, oh boy... I'm actually iPhone users since 2007 and am sorry that my statement rather sounded like blunt to you. I didn't mean to upset anyone here. I believe world in peace and therefore bashing other people around over just typical brands is bit silly. Let's embrace diversity, shall we?

I'm not wealthy at all, but I still have a IPhone cause I like the experience of it over Android after playing around with a Android device. Only things that Android OS are better at are customization and Google Now over Siri. And I don't care for using those features.

So does this article make any sense? Why are we still comparing apple to samsung?

@Fake Steve God: Lol! The iPhone processor may be manufactured by Samsung but it is designed by Apple and besides, it's not the processor because most devices have similar processors. It's the software. Are you saying that the same computer running Linux and Windows have the same experience? Lol! When will you get that?
iAmMe
iAmMe - August 20, 2013 at 4:31am
Yeah we know! I even wondered why is he doing here if he doesn't like Apple. Lol! Seems to be he's just sour graping... Haha

Samsung is junk. No wonder they come out with a new phone every 2 months, they just can't seem to create a winner. They should just bow out and save themselves what little respect they still cling tightly to.
