The study showcased that the iPhone, more than any other smartphone, is a great tool which users love to browse the web on.

The study looked at the habits of more than 10,000 adults in the U.S. for six months following the launch of the iPhone.

The report stated that 85% of iPhone users regularly browse the internet.

This compared directly to 58% of total smartphone owners, and 13% of mobile phone users.

One big reason why the iPhone is such a popular mobile device to browse the internet, is due to the easy-to-use Safari browser built into each unit.

The study found that 59% of iPhone users regularly visited a search engine, compared to only 37% of smartphone users, and 6% of regular mobile phone users.

The other big boost for the Apple iPhone in terms of internet use is the unlimited data plans offered from AT&T for iPhone users.
