That's why PC sales keep dropping while mobile sales are now
6-7X that per year:
This shouldn't be misunderstood as such, which I think you as
misunderstanding it. The reason mobile sales are so high is
because of planned obsolescence and the walled garden that
these devices are built around. I've gone through maybe 3-4
phones in the time that I've had my Desktop, and I use my
desktop every single day. I don't need to buy a new one cause
it runs perfectly fine, there aren't operating system updates
that purposely cause the CPU to run slower to "save battery
life" when a new device and OS come out. That's not to say it
isn't insignificant but the sales numbers are exacerbated.
Right. Basically, "sales stats" should never be misconstrued as
"usage stats".
The usage stats are similarly overwhelming, two-thirds of digital
time is spent on mobile, more for the young:

I went all-mobile three years ago, haven't looked back.
