inaccurate data
The Getúlio Vargas Foundation did a survey in 2021, there are 242 million smartphones in Brazil, since the Brazilian population is 212.6 million people. Given this, it is shown by the institution that a portion of the population may have two or more cell phones.
However, Apple smartphones are a minority in Brazil, according to StatCounter. The brands most used by Brazilians are Samsung (40.54%), Motorola (26.87%), Xiaomi (11.45%) and LG (9.48%) and finally Apple (9.36%).
The small adherence of Brazilians to the brand is due to the high prices of smartphones. The cheapest model sold on Apple's website is the 64 GB iPhone SE for R$ 4,199.
