Reading A Multi-Series Chart
This is a comparison chart, 6 groups at once — the interesting question is usually how the gap between them changes, not the value of any single group in isolation.
A group with a small share can still matter most for the story — it is often the rate of change, not the current level, that is worth the closer look.
Treat the exact numbers as directional rather than precise, and lean on the overall shape of the smartphone Usage In The Uk By Age line for UK rather than any one year in isolation.
This is UK data, published by the source linked below. Indicator series like this are usually modeled/estimated between survey years, not measured fresh every year — trust the multi-year direction over any one data point.
