Research firm Telsyte reported on 15th March that 7.8 million smart phones were sold in Australia in 2015 down 11% YoY.
49% of these were Android devices, 46% iOS and 5% other operating systems.
Telsyte believes that there were 17.6 million smartphone users and 3.5 million non smart phone users in Australia at the end of 2015.
With the lowering cost of smartphones (other than iPhones) and the closure of Telstra and Optus’ GSM networks in December 2016 and April 2017 respectively the rate of people moving to smartphones is likely to increase.
