According to International Business Times, only 46.5% of iPhone owners spend the time they use their iPhones engaged in actual phone conversations. In comparison, 71.7% of BlackBerry owners spend their time engadged in phone conversations.
The product is more-so a mobile entertainment platform rather than just a cellular phone.
“This usage pattern shows Apple has succeeded in producing a true convergence product that consumers like to use for multiple purposes,” said Greg Sheppard, chief development officer for iSuppli.
The report also went on to state that U.S. consumers spend just over 12% of their iPhone usage time accessing the Internet. This is in comparison to only 2.4% for all other mobile phones on average. “Google and Bank of America recently commented on how the rapid rise of traffic from iPhone owners is forcing them to modify their support of mobile Internet activities”, says writer, Daniel Jacobs of IBTimes.
Not only so, but 11.9% of their usage time is spent listening to music, comparing to only 2.5% for all other mobile phone users.
