iPhone 5 Users = Biggest Data Users in Europe?

The iPhone 4S alongside its bigger brother

 Bigger data usage = bigger bills right? Well, Apple iPhone 5 users in Europe have pretty big bills to pay then since it seems that they have "the most voracious appetite for data in Europe". This is quite from Yahoo News who reported that iPhone 5 users in Europe are consuming data on average more than four times than a regular iPhone 3G user! Four times the bigger bills? Ouch! Hopefully, European carriers have good data plans for their demanding consumers.

 So how was this research deducted? Well, the mobile data analysis firm Arieso lead this research and they examined more than 1 million smartphone users over a 24h period in European 3G networks. They don't seem to be shocked by the results and they found out some other interesting things. Namely, phablets such as the Galaxy Note 2 or other great 5-inchers were also rising data consumers.

"One iPhone 5 user is effectively worth about 4 iPhone 3G users," report author Michael Flanagan said in an interview.

 Their study also shows that an iPhone 5 users is also 50% more demanding than an iPhone 4S user in Europe and that no other smartphone other than the Galaxy S3 is coming anywhere close to ranking as high as this.
