A recent study has found that people who use an iPhone are smarter than those who prefer Android devices.

This is based on research that found states with more college graduates also tend to have higher iPhone sales.
這項發(fā)現(xiàn)基于這樣一個事實：所在州的大學(xué)生人數(shù)越多，iPhone的銷量就越高。

除了智力方面的因素外，研究還發(fā)現(xiàn)，經(jīng)濟(jì)能力更好也與iPhone的使用有關(guān)，而這項因素是與受教育程度掛鉤的。
