“More than 70 percent of users on both the iPhone and iPod touch are male.”

There are quite a few flaws in your article. First of all, it's quite old. . . the image on the page is of an original iPhone . . . and the page format is last copyrighted 2011. . .

The research was conducted by comScore on AdMob’s iPhone network of mobile web sites and applications, making it representative of AdMob but not necessarily of the mobile population overall.
In addition, it is a self-selected survey based on users of specific sites, mostly game sites. Women do not use the games sites. The figures they report from long ago do not comport with modern figures at all. Since you were citing 2011 statistics, distorted as they are, lets look at accurate data instead of self-selected, ad-generated data from game sites guesses:


Source — Statista — The Statistic Portal

As the numbers of iPhones increased, the gender division would get more and more closer to accurately reflecting the gender of the population in general. . . which is about 52% female and 48% males. Sorry, you lose. Since 2011, the iPhone has moved far more onto the world stage and the gender distribution is even more reflective of equality than you want to distort it to be male dominated.

A recent study show that it is ANDROID phones that are male dominated with a 14% bias toward male users.
