A Majority of U.S. Mobile Users Are Now Smartphone Users
Posted in: Uncategorized
Smartphone users are now the majority among people with mobile phones.
More than 50% of U.S. mobile phone users are now smartphone users, according to a new report by research firm eMarketer (full charts below). The scales officially tipped last year, as smartphone market share among mobile phone users increased 11 percentage points from the year before — to 50.1% in 2012 from 39.1% in 2011.
Norway, Sweden, the U.K., South Korea and Australia also passed the 50% threshold in 2012, and six more countries (Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands and Finland) are projected to reach that milestone sometime in 2013.
