That’s an interesting question. According to my web searches, the number of smartphone users in the world in 2023 is estimated to be 6.92 billion, which translates to 86.29% of the world’s population owning a smartphone. However, this percentage may vary depending on the source and the definition of smartphone users. For example, another source estimates that there are 5.22 billion smartphone users in 2023, representing 66% of the global population. Another factor to consider is that some people may have more than one smartphone or mobile subscription, which could inflate the numbers. Therefore, it is difficult to give an exact answer to your question, but based on the available data, it seems that a large majority of adults worldwide have a smartphone.<|im_end|>
