Are cell phones considered an autodialer?

It is not clear whether or not a cell phone would be considered an Automatic Telephone Dialing System (ATDS). The Supreme Court's decision in Facebook v. Duguid mentions the possibility that the broad interpretation of the TCPA's ATDS definition could potentially render all smartphones as dialers, citing this possibility as part of its rationale for adopting the narrower ATDS definition.
