I remember reading all of this research about affluent iPhone users before the stock market/VC market hit the skids. Does anyone really care? All of the mobile banner ads people I have talked to say, the real money is in selling an app. Has any free, ad-based app come out and said they are getting rich? No, of course not.

It also leaves out the important fact that 98% of iPhone users are hipster douchebags or DCFMs (dumb chicks from marketing)…

Agreed that this chart takes more parsing than should required, though of course we're looking at it stripped from the context of the report.

Maybe you figured this out already, but just in case: presumably each percentage refers to a percentage of each category on top. So 53 percent of people who own a mobile are male, 59 percent of people who own a smartphone are male, 57 percent of people who own an iPhone are male, and so on.

Of course the charts make no sense.
for males 53% own a mobile, 59% has a smart phone, 57% has an iPhone. The rest of the chart makes as much sense.

Not only is this chart missing a legend, a chart should not require one.

I am so glad I'm not the putz who paid $750 for these nonsensical numbers.
