The competition in the global smartphone market is in full swing. Companies like Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei, Oppo, and many more are working around the clock to take the lead and attract more users. So, who’s coming out on top? A report by Omdia has revealed the answer to this question. It appears that the Android camp, which consists of dozens of different manufacturers, has not been successful against iOS. The iPhone 14 Pro Max is the most popular phone being shipped around the world, and no one else is even close. Here are the details…
Apple’s iPhone 14 Pro Max is the Most Popular Smartphone Globally, Outselling All Android Devices
Omdia released a report for the first half of 2023 that includes a list of the top 10 best-selling smartphones. According to the report, Apple is way ahead of its competitors. The company sold a total of 79.5 million iPhones. Most of these sales came from the iPhone 14 Pro Max, which sold 26.5 million units. Next were the iPhone 14 Pro with 21 million, the iPhone 14 with 16.5 million, and the iPhone 13 with 15.5 million. Based on this, we can say that Apple’s earnings are nearly $100 billion.
In the fifth spot on the list, we finally see Samsung, making the landscape increasingly interesting. While Apple dominates the global smartphone market with its flagship models, the Korean tech giant has managed to place its Galaxy A14 in fifth place, selling 12.4 million units. The retail price of this device ranges from $200 to $250.
This further highlights the gap between Android and iOS. Although 12.4 million is not a number to be taken lightly, the low price point of this model means that Samsung’s profit margin is relatively low. The only flagship Samsung managed to put on the list was the Galaxy S23 with 9.6 million. The top 10 phones on the list are as follows:
| Rank | Model | Shipments (millions) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | iPhone 14 Pro Max | 26.5 |
| 2 | iPhone 14 Pro | 21 |
| 3 | iPhone 14 | 16.5 |
| 4 | iPhone 13 | 15.5 |
| 5 | Galaxy A14 | 12.4 |
| 6 | Galaxy S23 Ultra | 9.6 |
| 7 | Galaxy A14 5G | 9.0 |
| 8 | Galaxy A54 5G | 8.8 |
| 9 | Galaxy A34 5G | 7.6 |
| 10 | iPhone 11 | 7.4 |
