Back in my rural Tennessee county, I was the first cellular phone agent, back in the 90s. The phones were in a bag, with a mag mount antenna for the car. Hand-held phones worked only near a cell site. There were only one or two sites for the entire county.
Today, I am in the Philippines, where a mobile phone is a standard accessory with everyone from early teen on up.
It no longer depends on having above average money. Even the poor have their mobile.
It amazes how the new hi-tech systems/sites can handle the volume. We are never out of range or capacity.

Apple doesn't make much money off Internet usage - it makes most of it off selling Idevices. Unfortunately, Apple's market share is shrinking, and its year-to-year quarterly earnings comparisons (total earnings, not EPS, which has been goosed by share buybacks) have been negative for 5 straight quarters. After the plateau comes the whoosh down, as all portable touch screen devices deal with industry-wide price compression by either cutting prices or remaining above the fray and losing significant unit volumes. Either way, bottom line profits get taken to the woodshed.

Your chart, combined with the unit sales of phones by OS below, shows that people who buy Apple touch devices are heavy internet users compared to their Android counterparts. What does this mean? My guess is that people who travel frequently tend to buy Iphones, whereas people who don't probably use their computers to surf the internet:
