As per the survey from last month, Apple became the most popular smartphone brand, overtaking Samsung for the first time in 13 years. Canalys, a research group, has returned with updated information on the top 10 cellphones that were shipped globally last year. Not surprise, Apple topped the list of devices once more. But aside from Apple and Samsung, none of the other smartphone manufacturers were included on the list. Go through all the information below.
With 34 million sold worldwide, the iPhone 14 Pro Max was the most popular smartphone, according to a Canalys survey. After being on sale in September, the iPhone 15 Pro Max landed in second place with 33 million copies. With 29 million shipments, the iPhone 14 claimed the third position. Having sold 29 and 23 million units, respectively, the two-year-old iPhone 13 and the iPhone 14 Pro secured the fourth and fifth positions.
This year, Apple produced five of the top five devices sold. With 21 million sold, the iPhone 15 Pro came in at number seven on the list. Rounding out the top 10 was the basic iPhone 15, which sold 17 million copies. Notably absent from the list are the iPhone 14 Plus and iPhone 15 Plus.
Just three Samsung cellphones made it into the top 10 selling models in the previous year. Interestingly, they were part of the Galaxy A-series from the South Korean company. Among them is the Galaxy A14 4G, which sold 21 million units and came in sixth place. The Galaxy A54 5G and Galaxy A14 5G, which ranked eighth and ninth, respectively, were the other two.
Not a single other brand—OnePlus, Xiaomi, Vivo, and so on—made the list of the most popular phones sold in the previous year.
