Legitimacy of Referenced Articles
The listed citation from Newzoo is not verifiable without purchasing the survey. How can we cite a source without verifying the legitimacy of the study? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.79.41.136 (talk) 04:39, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

Value of this article
This article may be interesting, but it is ageing and of questionable accuracy. It is entirely based on a survey commissioned by Google over a fixed three year period using small sample sizes (700-1000 respondents). The data is from 2013 and there's no sign of the survey being extended.

Does this really deserve its own article, or would the content be better used as supporting refs for other articles? s Guffydrawers (talk) 06:50, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

2020 rankings are available now, it may be added to improve the value. Cveeras123 (talk) 04:53, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

Several Caribbean Islands have above 100% because each carrier has free minutes to in network calls, so some people have phones for each network because if you have friends on provider A and friends on provider B. Then you just use the correct phone for whichever friend you want to reach and bingo the calls free and won't eat up your minute. 108.20.242.54 (talk) 02:33, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

Accuracy
The main source of this article reports Internet usage at 67% in 2016, while other sources report significantly smaller numbers - below or around 50%, which makes me think about the accuracy of the other metrics of the source... --Yury Bulka (talk) 21:57, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

2019 ranking seems to be having some problem. Netherlands, Swedan, Belgium - which are appearing in previous years ranking suddenly disappeared in 2019. Could someone look into this? Cveeras123 (talk) 04:52, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

This data indicates that between 2020 and 2021, more than 9% of Americans stopped using smart phones, and returned to 2015 levels. There are clearly severe issues with the accuracy of the source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:59C8:2FE:E700:AC32:C61A:69C0:9655 (talk) 14:30, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
