Chart - iPhone & iPad Use By Hour Of The Day

When it comes to mobile device use, the prevailing wisdom is that tablets are mostly used at home, while smartphones are more often used on-the-go. Still, various pieces of research of late have suggested that the majority of smartphone use takes place in the home. Now, a new study from Flurry indicates that, at least when it comes to application usage, iPhones and iPads show a surprisingly similar distribution of time spent during the day, with consumption rising gradually in the morning hours before peaking in the evening.
