Market researcher The NPD Group says the percentage of smartphones sold among all handsets in the US has grown from 13 per cent in Q3 2010 up to 59 per cent in this year's third quarter.
Across four quarters running smartphone prices have fallen and the average device for Q3 was priced at $135, according to the report.
