While the UK leads the US for usage rates.
A couple of years ago, UK operators enforced data allowance restrictions on all mobile devices, so it's perhaps no surprise that comScore has found 87 per cent of British iPhone owners connect their devices to wi-fi as well as the mobile web.
Presumably, connecting to the wi-fi is an attempt to avoid high bills coming through.
However, while most iPhones are connected to the dual platforms, this falls to just 57 per cent for Android phones, suggesting that iOS is used for more online activity.
Although the UK leads for mobile wi-fi connectivity, the US also shows a similar trend to secure 71 per cent of iPhone owners that use wi-fi and mobile web, while Android has just 32 per cent using both platforms.
That means a massive 68 per cent of America's Android users choose to connect to the mobile web only.
