iPhone Buyers Survey

USA Today has published the results of a survey taken by the newspaper of 1,000 iPhone users.

In one of the first such studies, 90% of 200 owners said they were “extremely” or “very” satisfied with their phone. And 85% said they are “extremely” or “very” likely to recommend the device to others, says the online survey conducted and paid for by market researcher Interpret of Santa Monica, Calif. The firm surveyed 1,000 cellphone users July 6-10.

Some other interesting points that came from the survey are:

  • 51% of buyers switched from another carrier to AT&T
  • 3 out of 10 were first-time Apple customers
  • The iPhone is their first iPod for 4 out of 10 of buyers
  • New iPhone owners appear to be paying $35 more per month than with their previous carrier
