"Does Android skew towards a younger demographic? The numbers might surprise you. According to comScore, 52.4% of all Android users are aged 35 years or older. That is five percentage points higher than the iPhone. Near 55% Android tablets users are also older than 35." How is this surprising? Younger people tend to be more brand-conscious, and there's no denying that the iPhone is still perceived as cooler than Android phones. Also note that the cited figures are for the US, Apple's strong home market. I think the figures will look very different for Europe.

Same thing in my country. Most youngsters can't afford an iProduct, so it's mostly management-style people who have them. Most of my co-workers have Android phones, whereas most in management and sales (i.e. people who care about their image) use iPhones. It's just an insignificant observation, but I've noticed that often ownership of an iPhone can be easily correlated with the value of the owner's wristwatch.
