While smartphones dominate the majority of mobile categories, they are particularly ubiquitous in functional, on-the-move categories such as weather and sports. In contrast, categories such as apparel or kids, which tend to be more relaxed or open-ended in nature, demonstrate a higher-than-average share of tablet views. This has implications for optimisation of both advertising, as well as usability and content for publishers.
