U.S. household spend more and more on Apple gadgets average sum grows to 444 In 2011

While Android is easily the world’s most popular operating system with no close competitor in sight, when it comes to the U.S. it’s a much closer tie with Apple. And the latest data show that U.S. households are spending more and more on Apple devices each year.

The average U.S. household spent a whopping $444 on Apple products in 2011, a huge growth from the $295 average in 2010 and nearly triple the $150 spent in 2007, according to Morgan Stanley analysis.

A recent Reuters article publicized the figure and called out on Americans for paying the ‘Apple tax.’ And while tax might be a bit too strong of a word to describe users’ wilful purchases, the amount spent on Apple products is staggering.

Online discounters from CouponCodes4U.com claim $1 out of $25 spent on technology, is spent on Apple devices.
