In the first quarter of 2024, the iPhone 15 Pro Max from Apple took the top spot as the best-selling smartphone, a significant achievement in a non-seasonal quarter. The latest data from Counterpoint Research’s Global Monthly Handset Model Sales Tracker revealed that Apple and Samsung dominated the top 10 list, with each brand securing five spots. What’s more, all smartphones in the top 10 were 5G capable, marking a major milestone in the industry.

Key highlights from the report include:

– The iPhone 15 Pro Max led sales, indicating a growing preference among consumers for high-end smartphones.
– Apple’s lineup, including the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro, claimed the top three spots.
– Samsung’s Galaxy S24 series performed well, with the Ultra and base variants ranking fifth and ninth respectively.
– Apple’s Pro models now account for over 60% of its sales value, emphasizing their significance as revenue drivers.
– Despite a decline in iPhone sales year-over-year, Apple still reported strong revenue of $90.8 billion for the quarter.

This trend is attributed to consumers holding onto their devices longer due to incremental upgrades. As a result, there is a growing emphasis on purchasing high-end models that offer advanced features and capabilities.

Looking ahead, Apple CEO Tim Cook teased an exciting product announcement and the upcoming Worldwide Developers Conference. These events are expected to generate enthusiasm among customers and developers alike.
