What we do defines us more than what we are carrying. This MetaFAQs profiles smartphone users by their regular activities – those which are most popular worldwide and those unique to the country. It further splits out activities into four groups: younger and older adults that are employed versus those who are not employed outside the home.
Smartphone brand share by country [MetaFAQs]
The market share of actively used smartphones varies substantially by country. Apple leads where Samsung or Huawei don’t, and vice versa. This MetaFAQs reports on the share of active installed based on online adults in the US, Germany, UK, Japan, and China’s most-educated adults.
Dominant tech device brands [MetaFAQs]
Apple dominates most users around the world and especially in the US. However, its expansion has flattened while computer leaders Dell and HP have had their market penetration contract. Number two Samsung, having experienced modest gains in the first year of the pandemic, has since declined in part due to withering user demand, supply chain issues, and competitive pressures.
