In the 12 months to September 2011, 29% of Australians aged 14+ (5.3 million) own a Smartphone. More than two thirds (61%) of Australians who earn over $150,000 own a Smartphone, according to the Roy Morgan Mobile Phone Monitor.

These results indicate that Smartphone ownership is related to income, where the incidence of Smartphone ownership increases as income increases.

Andrew Braun, Director Mobile, Internet and Technology, Roy Morgan Research, says:

“Our Mobile Phone Monitor paints a clear picture of the type of consumer inclined to purchase a Smartphone.

“Amongst other things, it also indicates that Smartphone owners compare to that of all mobile phone owners are 47% more likely to be big spenders, 24% more receptive to mobile advertising if it reduced their phone bill and 23% are more receptive to receiving email advertising that is relevant to them.

“Further profiling on Smartphone owners can be purchased via the Roy Morgan Online Store.”
