iPhone users have a reputation for being smug – and now they may have a good reason.

使用iPhone的人通常都自命不凡，而如今他們這種心態(tài)有了一個更加充分的理由了。

A recent study has found that people who use an iPhone are smarter than those who prefer Android devices.

近日的一項(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)iPhone用戶要比偏愛安卓系統(tǒng)的用戶更聰明。

This is based on research that found states with more college graduates also tend to have higher iPhone sales.

這項(xiàng)發(fā)現(xiàn)基于這樣一個事實(shí)：所在州的大學(xué)生人數(shù)越多，iPhone的銷量就越高。

The study, by Massachusetts-based advertising group Chitika, discovered that Alaska, Montana and Vermont have the largest number of iPhone users in the US.

這項(xiàng)馬薩諸塞州廣告小組所研究的課題發(fā)現(xiàn)在美國，阿拉斯加、蒙大納和佛蒙特三州iPhone的持有者人數(shù)最多。

These states also have the highest percentage of college graduates.

而這三個州擁有大學(xué)學(xué)歷的人口所占百分比也是美國國內(nèi)最高的。

Meanwhile, New Mexico, Iowa and Delaware have the lowest percentage of people who use iPhones, and a lower number of graduates.

與此同時(shí)，新墨西哥州、愛荷華州以及特拉華州的iPhone持有者所占比例最低，而這幾個州擁有的大學(xué)生人數(shù)也較少。

As well as intelligence, the research found that wealth was linked to higher iPhone use – a factor that Chitika says is related to education.

除了智力方面的因素外，研究還發(fā)現(xiàn)，經(jīng)濟(jì)能力更好也與iPhone的使用有關(guān)，而這項(xiàng)因素是與受教育程度掛鉤的。

The study also found that iPhone sales are linked to population density. The more densely populated an area, the more chance iPhone sales will be higher.

這項(xiàng)研究同時(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)，iPhone的銷量和人口密度有關(guān)，人口越是密集的地區(qū)，iPhone的銷量就有更高的可能。
