My iPhone Monthly Data Usage: 50MB Above Average

Written by Ariel Seidman on May 8th, 2010

The graph below charts my iPhone data usage from December 2009 thru April 2010.  Since I am on an unlimited data plan pricing does not effect my usage (clearly).  For these four months my average monthly usage is 297MB/month or 50MB more then your average iPhone user.  How do I know this? I have heard from two carriers the following average data usage by device type:

  • iPhone users consume ~250MB/month
  • Android users consume ~150MB/month
  • Smartphone (a non-iPhone or Android) users consume ~100MB/month
  • Feature phone users consume <10MB/month
