* More US Adults Own A Smartphone Than Have Home Broadband – Marketing Charts
* A new report from Pew Research Institute revealing that 8 in 10 US (81%) of US adults own a smartphone which is even more than those who have home broadband.
* 96% of 18-29-year-olds and 92% of 30-40-year-olds now report owning a smartphone
* … older generations are somewhat slower than the younger generations to become smartphone owners. The age group of 50-64 year-olds is just below the average at 79%,
* …just more than half (53%) of US adults 65 years and older own a smartphone
* …that does drop to a 40% share for those 75 years and older.
* 17%) of US adults who do not have a high-speed internet connection at home, yet own a smartphone. Some 22% of these smartphone-only internet users are between the ages of 18-29 years old. One-quarter (25%) are Hispanic, while 26% have a high school education or less and 26% have an annual income of $30K or less.

Only 3 in 10 (30% share) say they mostly go online using another device such as a computer or tablet.
* The percentage of individuals who go online mostly using their smartphone varies with age. Three in 5 (61% share) of 18-29-year-olds say they prefer to go online using their smartphone as do about half (51% share) of 30-49-year-olds. However, the numbers decrease considerably with 50-64-year-olds (34% share) and 65 and overs (28% share). Those age groups much more prefer to use a computer or tablet to access the internet.
* It’s Time to Stop Calling Mobile a Trend
* These numbers will likely only go up.:
* Either, older adults begin mirroring the behaviors of younger cohorts, or
* Older adults age out of the marketplace, lowering their skew on the numbers
* Yes, it’s possible that younger adults will need glasses or prefer larger screens as they get older, so it’s not 100% guaranteed we’ll see these numbers rise. However, even as Millennials hit their late 30’s, that’s still likely a few years away.
