For the first time ever, Apple has dominated the top seven spots of the bestselling smartphone list, with the iPhone 14 leading the charge over the course of the year. Even more impressively, Apple's best iPhone, the iPhone 15 Pro Max, led global smartphone sales over the latter quarter of the year, presumably as early adopters grab their big-screened smartphone experience.
Independent research company Counterpoint Research has released a fascinating report detailing the bestsellers, and some of the devices that made the list might raise an eyebrow. Every year the firm releases the top-selling phones list, and while not official, they’re usually pretty close to total accuracy.
