Plus they never state how large of a college education, how do we know the majority of the iphone owners dont just have a associates or batchlors, where the smartphone users have masters and doctorates?
Also I would like to note that there are certain university's that now require you have a iphone or ipod touch now.
Point is, phone preference doesn't necessarily mean anything. Its kinda like the argument that artists only use mac, but I know plenty of artists that prefer windows...

Also I doubt that 69% of the male population have two or more handsets.

A fine example of what gives "journalism" a bad face, even though I know Gizmodo isn't really journalism nor I consider so.
Using parcial biased statistics to put a title that, though ironic still tries to passes a false image of "superiority" while ignoring several other data, trying to cover an obvious advertising post for scientific analisys. Source: Appleinsider, of course.
I mean, no problem for me and other more informed people who reads Gizmodo but knows that when it comes to Apple posts, Gizmodo will always have a biased opinion.
Problem is when people who don't know about this reads a title like that.
Thus, fanboys, flamewars and all other things Gizmodo editors claim to hate, but also won't stop provoking.
Again, it's still Dan's and other Gizmodo writers choice to make such posts, but the effect of posts like this one, at least for me, is that it makes Gizmodo an untrustworthy blog for Apple/Apple competitors info.

The larger the number being tested the closer to the general average you are going to get.
The number of people having mobile phones is a much bigger number than the number of people having smartphones which in turn is much bigger than the number of people with iphones. 49% of people with mobile phones is a much bigger number than 67% of people with iphones.
It's as if I tested people that have cars vs people that have an Audi A6.

Your argument rings hollow.

It's: If you have an iphone the chance that you fall into this category is X%
They are not cumulative.

You're reading the damn thing incorrectly.
It is saying: If you own an iPhone you are X% likely to fall into this category. If you own a Smart Phone you are X% likely to fall into this categeory.
So, if you have an iPhone, you are 61% likely to be married. If you have an iPhone there is a 49% likelihood you have a college education.
Vs if you have a Smartphone you are 65% likely to be married.
It isn't a comparison between the items listed. It is a list of phone type followed by percentage chance that something is true about you.

If 53% of the people asked own a mobile phone. How come more people own an Iphone (an iphone being a mobile phone).
So you'd have to read it as lostlikeme interpreted it; which is a weird way of reading it.

NOT the other way around.

Its a cross tab so the way to read it is for example 59% of people who own a smartphone are male. 67% of people who own a iPhone make $70k plus.

But yeah, you're interpretation of the table appears to be correct.
