The Android versus Apple debate can carry on forever, as both sides have their share of loyal customers. However, “Team Apple” can claim a victory as they are in some ways better off financially.
Lendingtree Inc, a leading online marketplace, analyzed more than two million purchasers of mortgages and personal loan requests. They found a correlation between what type of device the user owns and their credit score and loan amounts.
Here is a summary of average credit scores broken down by type of device:
Macintosh: 722.
iPad: 711.
Windows: 707.
Other: 705.
iPhone: 695.
Android: 682.
Grand Total: 703.
Does your device represent your financial status?

I don’t know if I agree with that. Our family of 5 is a blend of androids and iPhones (my kids are grown & get their own plans). I think the type of phone a person gets is just a matter of preference. For example, I have a couple of friends that are die hard Android users and hate iPhones and they’re well off financially.

What interesting perspective. I am both an Apple and Android user, well my son hugs up my IPod lol and he is a minor…. I am here wondering how in the world can any of these determine anyone’s financial status. This is way to interesting. Great read.

Wow, I had never thought about this question. But, I definitely think it’s a good one. I don’t know if Apple users are more financially better off? I have nothing but Apple products. I’ve also known people who refuse to buy Apple products that have more money or earn more. Certainly, I find that people who can afford Apple products are making a decent living, at least one where they can afford a $2000 laptop vs a less expensive PC.

My device is spot on for me thats for sure- I’m an apple person but it is wrong on my husband. He hates apple and has an excellent score. This is very interesting though and obviously there are going to be a few not in the norm.

Great post. We do well financially but geeky hubby HATES Apple lol. I must say I’m not a fan of them either, or their cult following.
