Android, Apple iPhone: Key Mobile Shopping Differences

IBM’s Digital Analytics Benchmark reported U.S. Black Friday sales and the news is reasonably good. Overall online sales grew by 17.4 percent while mobile sales grew to make up 24 percent of traffic. That probably does not come as a surprise. 


The study suggests 75 percent of the activity was from PCs. Of the mobile activity, a highly disproportionate share was conducted by owners of Apple iPhones. That is more notable. 

Apple iPhone owners were nearly four times more likely to conduct transactions using their devices, compared to Android owners. 

What nobody can tell, at this point, is whether those differences are due to some key difference in user interface, activity preferences or are more related to differences in end user personal wealth, or something else.
