Three-fourths of American Gen Z adults use an Apple device, up from two-thirds, while the UK has the reverse trend

Anchoring Apple’s market strength is its technology ecosystem, primarily when more than one Apple device is used with another. One of the most basic market metrics of Apple’s progress is whether an adult is using at least one Apple OS device – an iPhone, an iPad, or a Mac.

This MetaFAQs reports on the percentage of online adults actively using at least one Apple OS device, split by country and age generation. Report [TUP_doc_2024_0202_appt] in TUP Lenses: User Profile; Technology Ecosystems; Devices; Mobile Phones; Tablets; PCs

The top American page makers

The most active users of printers are generations in the middle, even while overall printer penetration is higher among earlier generations. Older millennial Americans have the very highest share of those who print more than 100 pages per month. Socioeconomic groups with higher incomes, further educational attainment, or children in the household include some of the busiest printer users.

This MetaFAQs reports on the percentage of Americans printing 100 or more pages per month, split by generation and detailing penetration among many historically advantaged and disadvantaged socioeconomic groups. Report [TUP_doc_2024_0202_page] in TUP Lenses: Printers; User Profile

Gen Z print with a little help from their friends

There are times when Gen Z Americans need to get something printed. They will find a way, even if they are economically challenged or so digital-first that having a printer is not top of mind. As compared to earlier generations, a much higher share of this generation relies on others for their printing. Many are the recipient of a home printer as a gift. When other Gen Z Americans print, they often rely on printers they or their employers do not own.

This MetaFAQ reports on the percentage of Americans who have a home printer that was received as a gift by generational group, and also the percentage who regularly use a public or other printer as their primary printer. Report [TUP_doc_2024_0201_pprt] in TUP Lenses: Printers; User Profile

IT, FIRE, and professional industry employees sustain the highest remote working rates

Even before the pandemic, working remotely has been a mixed blessing for IT staff. While many employees in the information technology industry are able to work remotely and support geographically dispersed organizations, many have historically needed to work well beyond the confines of a 40-hour workweek or 9 to 5 schedule. Similarly, many workers in real estate and other professions have experienced the benefits that come with pitfalls. With the onset of the pandemic, the gap has become clearer between employees in these industries and the average worker.

This MetaFAQs reports on the percentage of employees in the IT/FIRE/Professional industries who work remotely at least some of the time, and contrasts their share with the national averages in the US, Germany, UK, Japan, and China.

Home printer age by generation

Earlier generations are using older printers than later generations. This is not completely due to the more recent household formation of Gen Z and millennial Americans, and instead is reflecting the inertia of earlier generations in home printer purchases and repurchases.

This MetaFAQs reports on the age of home printers being used by American adults, split by detailed generational age groups, including Gen Z adults, younger and older millennials, Gen X, and Boomer Americans, as well as the Silent+Greatest generations.

Remote work pays: cross-country earnings compared

Remote workers tend to earn more than their workplace-going counterparts. Various factors, including educational attainment, socioeconomic status, and job type, influence this. We found this positive association in the US, UK, Germany, Japan, and China.
