A new report has suggested that Apple’s iPhone XR is the world’s highest selling smartphone of 2019. Omdia released a list of the top smartphones by the number of units sold and the Cupertino giant’s offering took the top spot.

According to the report, Apple shipped a total of 46.3 million iPhone XR units which is more than double what it had sold in 2018 when the device originally launched. On the other hand, the more recently launched iPhone 11 sold over 37 million units during 2019. Notably, 5 out of the top 10 most popular smartphones on the list belong to Apple.

With the iPhone XR taking the lead followed by the iPhone 11. The third, fourth and fifth spots went to Samsung with its Galaxy A10 (30.3 million units shipped), Galaxy A50 (24.2 million units shipped), and Galaxy A20 (19.2 million units shipped) smartphones respectively. Notably, the South Korean tech giant also had 4 of the top 10 most popular smartphones list of 2019.

The second half of the list starts with Apple’s iPhone 11 Pro Max at number six with 17.6 million units being shipped, followed by iPhone 8 at the 7th spot with 17.4 million shipments. Only the eighth spot was a non iPhone or Galaxy smartphone and went to the Redmi Note 7 (With 16.3 million units shipped worldwide), a Xiaomi subsidiary company. The last two spots were taken by iPhone 11 Pro and Galaxy J2 Core with 15.5 and 15.2 million units shipped respectively.

The list reveals that both Apple and Samsung have 9 out of the total 10 most popular smartphones of 2019. While the report suggests that the former’s global shipments have been falling in recent years, the company is still making handsets that millions of people are still willing to purchase. However, this is an endgame picture since the smartphone industry constantly changes, especially with 5G networking, so we can expect to see some other companies’ offerings on the list for 2020.
