In March 2012, a majority (50.4%) of U.S. mobile subscribers owned smartphones, up from 47.8 percent in December 2011, according to Nielsen, Mobile Insights.
Consumers purchasing new phones picked smartphones more often, and among smartphone owners Apple was the top manufacturer of smartphone handsets, while Android was the top smartphone OS.
Who makes up this growing group of smartphone owners in the U.S.? As of Q1 2012:

WHITE PEOPLE.
2 things.
We need more of y’all making babies.
Buy iPhones. Quit being so cheap.
LOL… they’re spending their money at tanning salons trying to be less white!
I get the humor, but I compensate by giving Apple products as gifts for Graduation from HS, College, Weddings, Birthdays, etc. As an Apple stockholder I see it as an investment.
As far as having kids, I see no shortage of kids of any race at the hospital where I work. The problem is distribution- those least able to pay for their kids seem to be having the bulk of them. Professional people of all races and ethnicities seem to have fewer and the poor seem to have them with abandon.
If I remember correctly from College each more assimilated immigrant generation tends to have fewer kids. The same is true concerning education and income- more of both tends to mean fewer kids.

Where is the bar marked illegal immigrants?
I don’t have a problem with any migrant as long as they assimilate, love America first and become law abiding, productive citizens.
As to illegal migration, plenty of anglos illegally migrated to Spanish America and before that to Native America. What if the Pilgrims and Jamestown settlers were rounded up and put in detention for seeking freedom and a new start. It’s really no different today for most migrants of whatever stripe.
I am an illegal Allien in the US from somewhere in Africa , still undocumented and an apple fanboy.
I have all apple products IPhone, iPad, 15 MacBook Pro, iMac 27 and many more
How is this possible?
“Apple was the top manufacturer of smartphone handsets, while Android was the top smartphone OS.”
Doesn’t Apple by default with iOS have the top smartphone OS? I mean if they have the top smartphone how can they not have the top OS?
Remember, Android is used by multiple manufacturers.
That said, it’s my understanding that iPhones are the majority of smartphones sold by the 3 biggest US carriers. So either the remaining US carriers are bigger than I thought, or this anal-ist is talking anally.
This story isn’t just a BAFF-er (Blame America First), it’s showing how those cauc”asian” males just don’t cut it anymore. I’ll bet $10 the author of this voted for Obama.
