According to the list of the world’s best-selling smartphones in 2023 recently released by market research agency Counterpoint Research, iPhone occupies the top 7 seats, and the rest are Samsung’s mid-to-low-end mobile phones. This is the first time that Apple has occupied the top seven positions. Among them, the top three are all iPhone 14 models. This series became the best-selling mobile phone last year. The United States and China together accounted for half of the overall sales, and this series also accounted for 19% of the total iPhone sales last year.
The report pointed out that the iPhone 13 can be ranked fourth mainly because this model is very popular in Japan and India. Although the iPhone 15 series was only launched in September last year, it has already ranked fifth, sixth and seventh. Among them, the iPhone 15 Pro Max It is the best-selling model in this new product line. The report specifically noted that major competitors in the mobile phone market have declined, but total iPhone sales remained stable last year, thanks to significant growth in emerging markets such as India, the Middle East, and Africa. India became the world’s fifth-largest smartphone market last year, with annual iPhone sales exceeding 10 million units, underscoring the Indian market’s growing importance to Apple.
The above factors have contributed to the sales of the iPhone 15 series being equal to those of the iPhone 14 series in 2022. As for Samsung’s Galaxy A series of budget phones, they occupy the eighth to tenth positions due to their strong cost performance, but there are no flagship Galaxy phones on the list. Market research company IDC previously released data for 2023, indicating that Apple surpassed Samsung to become the world’s largest smartphone manufacturer last year and surpassed it in shipments for the first time. This has now been confirmed by a report from Counterpoint Research.
