Mobile Consumer Survey 2017: The UK cut
State of the smart
The smartphone is a mere decade old, and with every year has become ever more integral to people’s lives. With each year, it has become more versatile, absorbing a growing range of functions, from communication to navigation, from breaking global news to memorising personal stories. And it is likely to be used even more intensively over the coming years, as its capability and utility continues to increase.
The seventh edition of Deloitte’s Mobile Consumer Survey: The UK Cut explores some of the key themes that this year’s survey has revealed, how they are affecting the mobile landscape today and likely to impact it in the next five years.
