“360 View: Mobility and the App Economy” also points out that about 50 percent of iPhone owners use voice recognition, as opposed to less than one-third of Android phone owners, according to a report summary shared with MMW.

“Smartphone penetration has reached 86 percent of U.S. broadband households, so it is a mature market, with users, particularly younger consumers and iOS users, exploring more intelligent features and interfaces, including voice control,” said Harry Wang, Director, Health & Mobile Product Research at Parks Associates. “The growing consumer interest in voice control features is driving this technology into new IoT areas.”
