According to a new study from online advertising network Chitika , states with more college graduates correlate with higher iPhone sales.

States with the largest number of iPhone users include Alaska (65.5%), Montana (60.1%), and Vermont (59.4%). On the flip side, Iowa (42.1%) and Delaware (42.2%) have the lowest iPhone sales.The study also found that iPhone buyers tend to be wealthier, but because higher incomes also correlate with college degrees, Chitika says that result is redundant.To collect its data, Chitika analyzed a sample of "hundreds of millions of U.S.-based iPhone ad impressions accessed via Chitika's mobile ad platforms between December 25-31 to account for holiday sales. Still, it's okay to take these numbers with a grain of salt. CNN reports that Chitika says its results "are not comprehensive" because the company focused on states and not smaller regions.
