Apple's iPhone is the top 7 best-selling phones
The survey results show that Apple's iPhone took the top 7 spots among last year's best-selling smartphone models. Among them, the most sold is the iPhone 14.
According to market research company Counterpoint Research on the 21st local time, Apple accounted for 7 of the top 10 best-selling smartphones in the world last year. This is the first time that an Apple product has taken the top seven.
The 3 models from the 8th to the 10th are products of Samsung Electronics. The total market share of the top 10 smartphones rose from 19% in 2022 to 20% last year, a record high.
Last year's best-selling smartphone, the iPhone 14, accounted for half of sales in the U.S. and Chinese markets, respectively. The iPhone 14 accounted for 19% of total iPhone sales, down from 28% of the iPhone 13 in 2022. According to the analysis, compared with the basic model, the sales of the Pro model have increased, mainly due to the differentiated configuration such as the Dynamic Island, high-configuration processor chips and displays.
In the iPhone 15 series, Pro Max has the highest proportion of sales.
Although sales of major mobile phone manufacturers decreased last year, total iPhone sales did not change much. This is because emerging markets such as India, the Middle East and Africa (MEA) continue to see growth. India sold more than 10 million iPhones in one year, making it the fifth largest market.
"The top 10 best-selling phones will account for a larger share of total smartphone sales this year, and Chinese brands are expected to also enter the top 10," Counterpoint Research** said, "It is expected that this year, the top 10 models are likely to all be 5G phones." ”
