Smartphones and Fertility Decline
Two American studies have shown that the 22% decline in birth rates in the United States since 2007 is linked to the appearance of Apple's iPhone. The researchers found that areas covered by the AT&T network, which sold the first iPhones, experienced a greater drop in fertility rates, especially among young people aged 15-24. The studies attributed this to decreased social interactions and sexual activity resulting from smartphone use, which in turn contributes to a lower number of children per woman.
