In other words 100% of Apple users are more likely to ignore disclaimers and believe what people tell them if it sounds pro-Apple. :D

Nothing surprising here. Cheaper phones/plans = higher % of lower income ownership.
Note the wording: "27% more likely to SAY they tend to lead" - yet they follow Apple like sheep.

Have you looked across the table in your Starbucks lately? Guess what, the person on the other side has the exact same iPhone as you do. And it is not because they are trying to imitate you, either.

Yes but then everyone in Starbucks using iPhones looks out the window at the poor people walking by using cheap Android phones and drinking cheap coffee. That's who they think they're leading, not each other.
Avoiding a product just because it is popular is another kind of sheep behavior.

People are free to buy whatever they want without being judged for it. Please stop being a troll.

The whole article is kind of a Troll, isn't it?
It is always interesting to see how people interpret statistics.

I would describe Android users as a younger demographic who live spread out across cities, suburbs, and the country. I would describe the iOS users as middle-aged rich women who live in cities.

None of the other data is really that meaningful when you start with a such a different base. Are rich city dwelling women more likely to identify as politically liberal? Obviously. Are young people more likely to make less money? Again, this is not rocket science.

The follow/lead thing is highly amusing. In my experience the largest "I lead" responders in a survey are people who are uncomfortable thinking of themselves as anything other than unique snowflakes but this has no bearing on actual lead/follow behavior, it may actually be inversely correlated.

I dislike Gruber so much that I can't read that lede as anything other than antagonistic.
