The results of Counterpoint’s Global Handset Model Sales Tracker have finally been tallied for the world’s hottest-selling smartphone for 2024. And no surprises here that Apple’s iPhone 15 reigned supreme.
While stats showed that the iPhone 15 Pro Max and 15 Pro were strong contenders for the top spot as well, ranking second and third places, nothing could come in between the original iPhone 15.
Meanwhile, other stats shared more about how the iPhone 16 Pro models ended up outperforming the iPhone 16 models during the Q1 since the launch date. South Korean tech giant Samsung took up the top four spots in the global 2024 top 10 list. We saw the S series return and make it big for the first time since the year 2018 while the Galaxy S24 Ultra is also worth a mention.
GenAI-embedded smartphones are now estimated to make a marked rise in presence this year.
The results come to us thanks to the Global Handset Model Sales Tracker. They shared more about how both Apple and Samsung keep dominating the top 10 list. There’s no other giant meeting the same level of performance as these two and this is the third year in counting.
Apple’s base model for the iPhone 15 had the biggest sales in China and the USA, which accounted for more than 50% of all sales revenue. There were some contributing factors to this including lucrative deal plans and plenty of trade-in offers that had a bigger audience making a purchase than before.
We must mention that Samsung keeps gaining more strength with time. This might be due to the Generative AI capabilities that keep users interested and intrigued to learn more. Seeing it emphasize more on innovation is certainly helping it deliver breakthrough performances around the globe.
Some notable features worth mentioning include chat or note assistants, circle to search, and then live translation features that keep getting love and positive reviews from all over the world.
Last year alone, more than 50% of all S24 series sales arose from America and the Western part of the EU. Even the A15 series performed better than its predecessor A14 and as a whole, global sales for A15 rose in different markets. There were strong promotions and plenty of positive reviews that assisted it in doing so.
