Last year, Apple iPhone 11 topped the charts on the best-selling smartphones during the first half. Later, the device went on to be one of the most shipped smartphones for the entire year as well. Today, Counterpoint Research has come up with a report for the global Top 10 best-selling models for January 2021, and Apple dominates the list yet again with iPhone 12 at the top.

As per the report, Apple iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max accounted for 71% of Apple’s entire sales for the month and occupied the first three positions in the Top 10 list. As reported earlier, the demand was high for the 5G Apple devices due to a late launch in 2020.

The yesteryear iPhone 11 is still at the fourth spot and this isn’t that surprising considering the device is still a value for money for Apple lovers. Also, the report says that 1/3rd of Apple’s total sales comes from the US.

Apple also has two more devices on the list and one of them is the iPhone 12 mini, yes you heard it right. Reports said that Apple could discontinue the mini version by Q2 but look like it has garnered some sales in January. The other iPhone model is the iPhone SE 2020.

The Top-10 list is once again shared only by Samsung and Xiaomi apart from Apple. We have Redmi 9A and Redmi 9 in the fifth and sixth spots. The report says that the sub $150 phones accounted for 25% of Xiaomi’s total sales for January.

Talking about Samsung, the Galaxy A21s and the Galaxy A31, which recently got price cuts in India, occupy the seventh and ninth spot respectively. Lastly, the report says that Xiaomi is growing gradually in the MEA region while Samsung is looking to attract more HONOR with its Galaxy A devices.

That being said, with more 5G mid-range devices launching in the coming months, we can expect them to dominate the Top 10 list this year.
