5、tes 2018 Global Mobile Consumer Survey. For this years report, Deloitte surveyed 2,000 US-based consumers to learn more about behaviors and trends that are influencing a wide range of wireless and mobility products and services.

While smartphones continued to thrive over the past year, other mobile platforms (including tablets) showed signs that the market is still trying to figure out

Meanwhile, US consumers expressed growing interest in voice- assisted technologies, certain Internet of Things (IoT) applications and devices, and the introduction of fifth-gen

Across virtually all age groups, however, US consumers are viewing their smartphones more often than ever before. US smartphone o
15、wners now look at their phones an average of 52 times dailyan increase of about 6 percent over last year. As a result, 39 percent of US consumers think they use their smartphones too much. And, contrary to the common perception, 60 percent of 18- to 34-year- olds admit to smartphone overuse, the hig
16、hest level of any age group. Whats more, 63 percent of US consumers report theyre This finding might be considered unsurprising, given the smartphones domination of the consumer device landscape since its inception a little over a decade ago. One strong indication of consumers increasing reliance on
17、 smartphones “as a hub” is that 20 percent of US adults now use the device as their primary form of online access at home, rather than using a traditional broadband service.2 3 Source: Deloitte Global Mobile Consumer Survey, USA edition Base: Selected respondents USA, 2015: 2069; 2016: 2000; 2017:20

31、ontinues 5 Its no secret that smartphones are a primary driver of todays “always connected” lifestyle. While the line separating work and play used to be fairly distinct, smartphone-enabled connectedness is now making work time more personal, and personal time more work-oriented (with personal time
32、edging work time by a slim margin). For example, more than a third of adults report that they use their smartphones “very/fairly often” for business purposes outside normal working hours. And 59 percent say they use their personal smartphone during normal working hours “very/fairly often” (see figur
33、e 4). “Always connected” consumers see line blur between work and play Figure 4. Smartphone usage for work and personal purposes Q.

When it comes to getting work done, the primary uses of smartphones are email (56 percent of respondents), making standard calls (52 percent), calendar management (37 percent), using maps (34 percent), and communicating with colleagues/clients via instant messaging (24
39、percent). 2018 Global Mobile Consumer Survey: US Edition | A new era in mobile continues 6 While smartphones continued their momentum over the past year, the same was not true for tablets. Judging from our survey results, its becoming increasingly clear that consumers view tablets as opportunistic d
40、evices, best suited for a few specific tasksas opposed to the smartphone, which consumers use for everything. In addition, larger smartphone screen sizes are probably causing many consumers to reconsider whether they really need a tablet. As a result, tablets suffered the largest year-over-year decl
41、ine in market penetration of any device category in our survey, slipping from 62 percent to 57 percent. It now appears that 2018 may have marked an inflection point in smartphone vs. tablet market penetration across all age groups. While smartphone penetration grew in all age groups except for one (
42、25- to 34-year-olds), tablet penetration dipped across the board. Other market studies illustrate this trend as well, with some analyst firms attributing tablets sales slump to a lack of both innovation and high-profile product launches.3 Another revealing finding in Deloittes survey is the relative
43、 absence of tablets as a preferred device for various mobile activities. Only one age group (65+) named tablets as a favored device for a particular activity (playing games). Tablets (52 percent) now rank behind smartphones (94 percent), laptops (74 percent), desktop computers (71 percent), smartwat
44、ches (67 percent), and fitness bands (60 percent) in daily usage among respondents (see figure 5). Figure 5. Mobile device usage (daily) Q. When was the last time you used each device?

49、ntage point) while the market penetration for both fitness bands and virtual reality headsets decreased from 10 percent to 8 percent. Smartwatches undoubtedly benefited from their increasingly tight integration with smartphones, which boosts their utility and value. On the other side of the coin, perhaps one of reasons for fitness bands decline is that smartwatches now integrate features once unique to fitness trackers. As a result, some fitness-band makers are being squeezed out of the market. The increased screen sizes, performance, and versatility of smartphones hav
