Survey Finds iPhone Owners Are Smarter Than Other Smartphone Users

Survey Finds iPhone Owners Are Smarter Than Other Smartphone Users

Posted January 2, 2014 at 6:33pm by iClarified
UK Bookmaker Ladbrokes created an online test known as the 'Test of Wits' to see which smartphone owners had the highest mental agility. The test focused on problem solving skills, pattern recognition and code cracking.

The Test of Wits is made up of seven brainteasers designed to test problem solving skills, pattern recognition and code cracking.
Each question has four possible answers and a participant has to select the correct answer before moving onto the next teaser.
Example questions include: How many 9s are there between 1 and 100: a) 19 b) 20 c) 9 d) 1 e) 14.
Another is how many months have 28 days: a) 1 b) 12 c) 24 d) 10.
Each user is asked to select their make of handset before completing the test, and a timer in the top right-hand corner records their speed.


As it turns out, iPhone owners proved to provide the correct answers in the shortest times. BlackBerry users, on the other hand, took the longest to answer the questions provided.


● Apple - 94 Seconds
● Google - 99 Seconds
● Samsung - 103 Seconds
● HTC - 105 Seconds
● Nokia -109 Seconds
● BlackBerry - 118 Seconds

Did the survey log the ip addresses?

I would like to know how many users retook the survey just to get a faster time.

Just the Samsung users. Surprisingly, they actually did worse on the retake.

iPhone is best for sexting; nothing else matters

iPhone is the best. It has the biggest screen size and highest resolution. It's also more flexible, because iOS let's you change everything, including icons. Samsung Note 3 sucks, because its screen is so small compared to the iPhone 5S. Apple is the best. Ask Steve. He'd die if he used Samsung Galaxy S instead of iPhone.

Screen size stuff you said is the other way around, in case other people see your comment, I will remind them phones aren't tablets and third is why.

Iphone users buy expensive phone and becomes a paper weight in a couple years. They can find alternatives to make the iphone usable. While android users still have a usable phone because the specs is design for the future.

I have 4s 64gb and bought it unlocked from apple store. After a year it slow down as it only have 512mb ram. It just serves as a phone and no longer a smart phone, for me. It really depends in the user's need. Now Im using iphone 5 and will continue to use it because of facetime and imessage. But I will not let go my galaxy phone as In my opinion they are the smartest phone. I have S4 and recently bought note 3. I like both iphone and galaxy as it is doing it purpose. I donot think android can beat the facetime and imessage. This is just my experience and my opinion.

Just to make it fair I let my 4 year old do the survey as an iphone user.. the question were to easy, so he didn't take long to complete the survey. Don't think it helped.

Moral of the story: iPhones forever since birth, down with android since birth. iPhone with awards, android with copying.

gamerscul9870 - January 2, 2014 at 7:32pm
Tony logic. Why bigger phone if we have tablets, and yeah what does 4gb of ram do of it doesn't speed up a phone.

So when an iPhone user uses another phone that's not an iPhone and keeps pressing the home button to turn the screen on but then realizes that's its not like an iPhone and has to press a lock button on the phone...they are smarter?
gamerscul9870
gamerscul9870 - January 2, 2014 at 7:12pm
Or when iPhone users pick iPhone to be their phone and use it in a new way and argue against fandroids who act like their crapaxy s4 is faster and iPhone users show them the benchmarks.

gamerscul9870 - January 2, 2014 at 6:35pm
But, samsung phones have better ram and bigger screen, what is so smart for iPhone if it has 1gb ram and same small screen?

It's the users of the phone that are smarter... not the phones them self :p
