To be successful on dating apps, Apple devices would be a formidable weapon, according to a study conducted by Comparemymobile.com and relayed by the specialized site 9TO5Mac . This survey shows that the number of "matches" does not depend only on the physical or its presentation.

Comparemymobile.com has created identical profiles on several applications by showing marks on profile photos. Many cities around the world were affected by this experience. It then emerged that users whose profile picture showed an Apple device were more successful than others.

The iPhone, the lethal weapon

The iPhone is the lethal weapon. Users who show themselves in its possession would increase their chances of "matching" by 76%. The rate drops to 61% for an Apple Watch and 41% for AirPods. The only other brand capable of increasing seduction capital is competitor Samsung.

The brands Google, Sony, Huawei or OnePlus would on the contrary have a negative impact, according to the study. The worst thing would be to have a BlackBerry device appear on their profile picture. In this case, the chance to match drops by 74%.

“Our study found that young singles aged 35 and under were more likely to be influenced by the phone you have than the car you drive, with Apple products giving those looking for love a clear advantage over the others, perhaps because of their cost or the coolness associated with the brand, ”says the authors cited by 9to5Mac .
