It is always interesting to see how people interpret statistics.

I would describe Android users as a younger demographic who live spread out across cities, suburbs, and the country. I would describe the iOS users as middle-aged rich women who live in cities.

None of the other data is really that meaningful when you start with a such a different base. Are rich city dwelling women more likely to identify as politically liberal? Obviously. Are young people more likely to make less money? Again, this is not rocket science.

The follow/lead thing is highly amusing. In my experience the largest "I lead" responders in a survey are people who are uncomfortable thinking of themselves as anything other than unique snowflakes but this has no bearing on actual lead/follow behavior, it may actually be inversely correlated.
