In other words, iPhone users consume almost half of their content via WiFi and Android users consume more than three quarters of theirs over cellular networks. In tablets, the difference is even more pronounced: 91.9 percent of iPad data traffic occurred over WiFi networks compared to 65.2 percent for Android tablets.
John Paczkowski on a new report comparing iPhone and iPad Wi-Fi usage to Android users. Quite a huge gap.
Apple, Android Owners Diverge on Wi-Fi Usage — But Why? | AllThingsD
Cuz they never have any network!!!
I have an iPhone with AT&T and their stupid data limitations. My wife uses Android with Sprint and has unlimited data. Kind of a bummer for me.
How about the idea that the iPhone seamlessly switches to WiFi when available? Make a feature dead simple to use, and people will use it.
Cringely claims that’s part of why AT&T is trying to acquire T-Mobile, for their wi-fi networks.
I went to the lower AT&T tier immediately on my iPhone and haven’t come close to using it up. This might change now that I’m working only part time. I cancelled my iPad 3G data some time ago having observed that I don’t use the iPad where I need 3G.
Id suspect the iPad number is so high due to the iPads that have no cellular data ability at all
I don’t think there are enough Android tablets in use to make a statistically significant sample size.
