Incidentally, in the top 10 sales of the sector worldwide, Apple dominates 8 places in the ranking. The other two, as expected, are from Samsung, for its Galaxy line. However, none of the phones on the podium belong to the Korean brand.
Apple breaks record and it is the first time that a company dominates 8 positions
According to previous surveys, this is the first time that only one brand conquers 8 places among the 10 best-selling mobile phones on the planet during a year. By the way, the information was released by the research company Counterpoint, specialized in the service.
Incidentally, three of gadgets listed were available for sale during only 4 months of last year, even so, they entered the list of the best sellers of all.
What are the best selling cell phones of 2022
See below the list of the best-selling cell phones in the world in 2022, dominated by Apple:
- Apple's iPhone 13
- Apple iPhone 13 ProMax
- Apple iPhone 14 ProMax
- Galaxy A13
- Apple iPhone 13 Pro
- Apple's iPhone 12
- Apple's iPhone 14
- Apple iPhone 14 Pro
- Apple iPhone SE 2022
- Galaxy A03
As the company claims for Forbes magazine, the market share of these phones will increase in 2023. That's because Apple, Samsung and other smartphone brands focus on clearing inventory and optimizing product launches.
“For the first time, a Pro Max variant of an iPhone series generated more volume than its Pro and entry-level models,” said Counterpoint. The reasons that put the North American in the lead are not clear, but little variety of models is one of the factors, in addition to market dominance in rich territories.
