As per Counterpoint Research, 2022 was a great year for Apple. The Cupertino-based tech giant dominated the top ten best-selling smartphone list. Eight iPhone models made it to the list, an excellent achievement making Apple the first-ever brand to capture eight spots out of ten.
As per the data, iPhone 13 was the most sought-after device registering 5 percent of the total smartphone sales around the globe and 28 percent of all iPhone sales. It was the best-selling phone in the US, UK, China, Germany, and France between September 2021 (after its launch) and August 2022. Price cuts of the iPhone 13 after the launch of the iPhone 14 further drove the device’s sales in developing markets. The iPhone 13 Pro bagged the second spot with a 2.6 percent share in 2022.
The iPhone 14 Pro Max came in the third position and this is the first time, the Pro Max variant clocked more volumes than the regular and Pro variants. Significant upgrades are cited to be the main reason behind the success of the iPhone 14 Pro Max. The iPhone 13 Pro Max ranked fifth with a 1.6 percent share. Surprisingly, the iPhone 12 launched way back in 2020 was the sixth best-selling smartphone with a 1.5 percent share. It also outsold the iPhone 14 and 14 Pro which are in seventh and eighth position respectively. The iPhone SE 2022 came ninth in the list with a 1.1 percent share.
The Samsung Galaxy A13 was the fourth best-selling phone last year with a 1.6 percent share while the Galaxy A03 completed the list of top ten.
