Australian consumers have traditionally been early adopters of new technologies and at the end of 2019 several key milestones were reached, according to research firm Telsyte which reveals that smartphones have now become the main digital device for more than half (51%) of Australians - with millions of Australians loyal to either their iPhones or Android smartphones.

Smartphone sales in Australia dropped by 5% to 4.3 million units in the second half of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, as the cost of premium handsets continued to weigh on buyers, according to a new research report.

Australians are concerned about their privacy with smart devices listening in on their conversations, and allowing organisations to extract personal information from their digital footprints.
