"Economist Caitlin Myers and her student Ezekiel Hooper from Middlebury College built their case around a structural quirk: the original iPhone only worked on AT&T‘s network. That gave them a natural experiment. Counties with strong AT&T coverage got early smartphone access, while counties without it largely did not.

Comparing fertility data across those two groups, the researchers concluded that iPhone access drove as much as half of the US birth rate decline between 2007 and 2011, with the strongest effect in the 15-to-24 age group. As for the reason behind the drop, the researchers point to a shift away from in-person socializing, greater access to pornography, and better awareness of contraception and abortion options as possible explanations."
