According to Nielsen’s latest quarterly report on the mobile landscape shows that 62% of U.S. cell phone owners ages 25 to 34 have a phone with an advanced operating system.

54% of the18 to 24 segment and 53% of 35- to-44-year olds all own smartphones. The drop off in smartphone use after age 44 is sharp, however, with only 39% of the 45-54 segment on advanced devices — almost on par with the 38% of 13- to 17-year olds.
