Samsung trails behind as iPhone 13 takes top spot for smartphone sales

Dozens of brands in the smartphone market are trying to sell all over the world in great competition with each other. A few brands at the top continue to sit in their unshakeable seats for a long time. Especially Apple is on the agenda with its devices that it manages to put on the list of the world’s 10 best-selling smartphones every year. Here are the details.

The world’s best-selling smartphone was iPhone 13!

In the smartphone market, manufacturers have different sales strategies. For example, the best-selling model of the year in one country may not even be offered for sale in another country. This is in line with the policies that companies follow according to markets and countries.

At the same time, it is also a method to reduce sales per model in order to sell more devices in general. For example, Apple releases 4 models every year, while brands like Xiaomi and Samsung launch 20-30 different models.

In fact, so much so that Xiaomi was trying to capture the Android market for a while, it was launching different devices with a model in every 10-20 dollar range. In this way, it can appeal to people of all budgets with much more options.

However, at the end of the day, this situation reflects negatively on model-based sales figures. Because while the other brand sells 10 million units of a single device, Xiaomi sells 20 million units of 5 devices in a similar price range. Therefore, their models are always at the bottom of the bestseller list. Of course, when we look at the number of users, the company can come out on top even if its revenue is less than others.

The world’s best-selling phone this year was the iPhone 13 with 73 million units. Although it pales next to the success of the iPhone 11, which exceeded 100 million in the year it was released and reached sales data exceeding 160 million in total, we still see that it is 2 times the difference to its closest competitor.

The whole list is as follows:
