Smartphone prices on the other hand decreased three percent over the previous year to 151 dollars.<\/p>\n<p>The NPD findings are based on the results of online consumer research surveys conducted each month. The sales figures do not include corporate or enterprise mobile phone sales.<\/p>\n<p>Apple has sold more than 50 million iPhones since introducing the device in 2007.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:
