Why would they even need to microchip people? 90% of people cannot live without a smartphone attached to their hand 24 hours a day. The device records and stores all your phone conversations and text messages in a massive NSA database, as well as all of the GPS location on your phone, all the pictures and video you ever recorded, every search and website you have ever visited, all your contacts, and also it can turn on the microphone and/or camera and remotely record everything going on around the phone and store it indefinitely.
Not many people will be convinced to be micro chipped yet, but people literally camp out in front of the crapple store to get the latest iphone, even though they just bought the last model 6 months ago. All strata of society are addicted to their phones now from preteen kids to business men to gangbangers to little old senior citizen ladies, to police and military, professors, politicians, etc. Some of them even know their phones are tracking devices but they wont give them up "I know it tracks everything I do but....how else will I know if someone responds to my comment on tumblr?"
When they can make a chip that can beam porn right behind your eyelids, then people will line up to spend whatever money they have to buy it, and spend more money to upgrade it every 6 months.
Access, enforce a rigid class system without the potential for upward mobility, and (long term) systems to control breeding patterns guided by Aldus Huxley's vision in Brave New World.
Cell phones do not create those types of enforceable systems.
