For those in their 30s with the highest net usage rate by mobile phones, the combination rate of "smartphone and garage" is up to 7.4 %

Most smartphones in all ages

Despite being late from Europe and the United States, the shift in the mobile phone from conventional mobile phones to smartphones has progressed in Japan, and the atmosphere is about to be calm at a certain rate.The biggest reason why the model used to the smartphone is migrated is the improvement of the difference in the access function to the Internet, but at this time, what kind of power balance is the Internet use using mobile phones?I wonder.We will check the actual situation based on the report and public data of the "Communication Usage Trend Survey" ( *) released by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications in June 2021.

From the following, the Internet utilization rate is limited to the relevant terminals that are limited to "mobile phones (including conventional mobile phones (including PHS), no smartphone, do not include tablet -type terminals)".Each value is a value for the overall ratio (excluding unspeakers).For example, "The value of only conventional mobile phones is 5..2 % "" ".In the past year, 2 % have used the Internet only on conventional mobile phones.

The penetration of smartphones in young people is noticeable.At the age of 13 to 19, people who use it in combination with conventional mobile phones are included 81..3 %.And in their twenties, more than 90 % of those who are transferring from conventional mobile phones are in total.2 users with conventional mobile phones only.Only 6 %.

After the thirties, the number of smartphones online gradually decreases, and the number of smartphones on the smartphone will gradually decrease, and below 40 % in their 70s.However, even if you are 80 years or older, the usage rate of smartphones is higher than the conventional mobile phone, and there is no turning point between the two.In other words, in all ages, the use of "Internet using mobile phones" is the main via "smartphone" and is not the main via "conventional mobile phone".Until 2019, the age of 80 was the main via the conventional mobile phone, but in 2020 it became the main part of the "smartphone" in all ages.

What is the annual household income?

Next is the annual household income usage rate.As expected, as expected, the higher the annual income of households, the higher the Internet usage rate due to mobile phones.

Generally, smartphones are more running costs than conventional mobile phones.In recent years, "Galaho", which has a function close to a smartphone and can utilize a price plan close to a conventional mobile phone, and a SIM card provided by virtual mobile telecommunications carriers (MVNO), as a white rom and SIM rock -free terminal.It is also due to running costs that "cheap smartphones", which are used as smartphones, are attracting attention.Because the annual income of low households makes it harder, you can check situations where you can not reach the smartphone.

When the household annual income reaches a certain line, the ownership rate of the smartphone "only" will not change much.So to speak, ceiling state.In the most recent, the usage rate of mobile phones due to annual household income will be almost the same rate of 6 million yen or more.The sluggish in households with less than 6 million yen can be said to be the problem of information gaps via a mobile phone and the point to be solved.

The characteristic situation in the household composition is

Finally, by household composition.By the configuration of the households to which the respondents belong, we have seen how the usage rate changes.Elderly people mean over 65 years old.

Single households (non -elderly people) can afford financially, and in many cases they can learn operating skills on their own, and the Internet utilization rate on mobile terminals is also high, and the smartphone utilization rate is also high.On the other hand, households only for elderly people have few opportunities to teach operations, etc., and as long as they use mobile phones in their daily lives, they may be satisfied with conventional mobile phones, so the use of smartphones is so much.Not many.

However, even if the same elderly, if they are two -generation household members, the smartphone usage rate will be higher than that of elderly households (only for the elderly).Even if the respondents themselves are elderly, they can have the opportunity to teach children, so it is thought that it is easy to exceed technical hurdles.

In recent years, "Garaho" and "cheap smartphones", which are between smartphones and conventional mobile phones, are attracting attention as a substitute for smartphones.In particular, the latter is actually the same as a smartphone, so it is often counted as a smartphone in statistics.What can be expected to grow in the future may be considered a "cheap smartphone" that is easily accepted by those who want low cost.It will also contribute to the rise in values related to each smartphone.
