What does the average Mac user look like?
BlueStacks, a company whose technology allows people to run apps designed for smartphones on Mac and Windows desktops, pulled together a quick study on the average Mac user's physical appearance.
It pulled data from Nielsen and asked its 1.1 million Facebook fans to take a survey. The results aren't exactly scientific, but they paint a good picture of common Mac-user characteristics.
And they're not what you'd expect.
Most of them, BlueStacks says, are females under the age of 20, who have freckles. They wear jeans, T-shirts. and ponytails frequently.
After going through the findings, we're a little skeptical—the findings suggest most of the freckle-faced Mac users also have black hair, attributes that don't often go together. Also keep in mind that BlueStacks' Facebook users likely skew younger. You'd have to do some adjustments to match the findings to the general population. Consider the following with a grain of salt, produced more for your enjoyment than as a scientific conclusion.
They have long hair.
According to BlueStacks. 27% of Mac users have long hair and 22% have shoulder-length hair.
15% wear their hair in a ponytail. 11% have very short hair, and another 11% have curly hair.
Their hair is usually black. More blondes use Macs than brunettes.
BlueStacks claims 38% of Mac users have black hair. A surprising amount—36%—have blonde hair, followed by 18% who have brown hair, 4% with red hair, and 2% who have "other."
Despite the stereotypes, most Mac users don't have big heads.
Most Mac users have normal-size heads: 72%. 18% have "unusually large heads." The rest are smaller than usual.
