The Number Of Smartphones In Use Is About To Pass The Number Of PCs

Is your website mobile friendly?

The technology analyst Benedict Evans recently tweeted the chart below, which is based on data from Enders Analysis.

Evans states that the "estimated" amount of smartphones used now is about to pass the number of PCs in use — Most likely in the first part of 2014.

The number of smartphones purchased per year blew past PCs sold per year a few years ago. But the installed base of Personal computers (PC's) is more than 1.5 billion, and they usually last a lot longer than smartphones. Tablets, which will most likely start outselling Personal computers (PCs) next year, are still a far-distant third in terms of installed base.

Is your website mobile ready?  You could be missing a ton of potential customers because your website is not smartphone friendly.   Find out how Rikwebguy can help your business website become mobile friendly.


In a follow-up tweet, Evans notes that the Personal Computers (PC) installed base is estimated using 5-year trailing PC sales, while the smartphone and tablet installed base uses 2-year trailing sales.

Based on a still-functioning home-office PC from 2005 that I still use occasionally, as well as an only recently deceased iPhone 3GS, both usage lives may be conservative.

Here's Evans' tweet:
