DHAKA: Are you an iPhone user? Congratulations! You're probably smarter than the Android owner sitting next to you.

A new study conducted by online advertising network Chitika found that states with more college graduates tend to also have higher iPhone sales, reports the CNN.

Notably, Chitika found that increased wealth is also linked to greater iPhone sales -- but since college degrees also correlate with higher incomes, Chitika says those results are redundant.

However, other studies have also found similar results.

On the other hand, the majority of the iPhone users are male. In the first month of sales, nearly 80% of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus buyers were male.

Nevertheless, the iPhone remains the single most popular smartphone in United States also though Google's Android sales are significantly higher than Apple's sales. Runner-up Samsung commands 28% of the rest.
