Illuminating Photo Study Reveals iPhone Users Have More Sex August 10th, 2010
The dating site OkCupid, released their findings on an analysis of over five hundred thousand user pictures. The data comes from users making snap judgments while comparing the photographs which allowed conclusions like: People look more attractive with Panasonic cameras and using a flash makes you look older.
As an added bonus, these analysts discovered that iPhone users have more sex than any other smart phone owners. How did they discover this while conducting a study on what makes a good picture? Turns out:
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. We dropped what we found into Excel, and voila.
So there we have it, scientific proof of the iPhone’s sexiness (like there was any doubt). And now you know that you’ve got your work cut out for you the next time you see someone break out their Nexus One in the bar. They’re doing a public service over there at OkCupid.
