. . . you’ll find that he’s a pretty accurate characature of soi disant typical iPhone users. A non-scientific poll of 445 iPhone and Blackberry users found more d-baggery per square metre than anywhere outside an Abercrombie & Fitch ad:
. . . iPhone users consider themselves to be extrovert intellectuals who know a lot about the media but find a lack of high-tech gadgets to be a turn off.
35 per cent of iPhone owners said they would find a partner with out-of-date electronics a turn off, though a quarter have dumped someone who was spending too much time playing with their phone.
33 per cent of those with an iPhone have used a text message or e-mail to break up with a partner — which is harsh, though nothing beats fax for that sharing-the-pain experience. When it comes to good news electronics are, apparently, out: none of those polled would propose marriage by text or e-mail.
When not dating, 20 per cent of iPhone users admitted to frequently watching adult material on their 3.5-inch screen, and more than 60 per cent consider themselves to be extrovert.
