The worldwide smartphone market is slowing down
There's a statistic floating around that says that nearly everyone on Earth has a smartphone, but just over half of them have access to proper sanitation. Between that stat and this report from Gartner, it looks as if a great many smartphone makers should think about starting their own toilet-making businesses. The research firm believes that while the smartphone market is still growing, that rate of growth has now dropped back to 2013 levels. That's because China, long-regarded as a rich seam of un-tapped phone buyers has been exhausted, which is what's prompted these firms to turn to India andAfrica. If that all sounds a bit too business-y, here's the simplified version: everyone who can buy a smartphone already has one, and those people who don't probably can't afford them.
