7 of 10 bestselling smartphones in 2021 are iPhones
Samsung and Xiaomi are the other three
The numbers are in. A few months into 2022, companies are posting how well they did in the previous year. To say the least, the results are both surprising and expected. Seven out of ten of the bestselling smartphones of 2021 are iPhones.
Recently, research firm Counterpoint Research revealed its list of top ten smartphones from last year. As expected, the iPhone 12 series took the top spots. The regular version and the iPhone 12 Pro Max took 2.9 percent and 2.2 percent, respectively. Meanwhile, the iPhone 13 lagged not too far behind with 2.1 percent of the global market share. The newer iPhone did dominate the fourth quarter, so that’s no surprise.
The first non-Apple smartphone on the list is the Samsung Galaxy A12, sitting at number 6 with 2.0 percent of the market. The next Android phone, the Xiaomi Redmi 9A, sits behind with 1.9 percent. Finally, the Xiaomi Redmi 9 rounds out the list at number 10 with only 1.1 percent of the market.
Surprisingly, while Apple dominates with its flagships, Samsung isn’t on the list for the Galaxy S21 series. Likewise, Xiaomi’s two entries aren’t the company’s flagship offerings.
Besides the three Android phones, all the rest are iPhones belonging to the 2020 and 2021 generations.
