The year 2024 brought Apple not just a victory but total domination of the smartphone market. If anyone still doubted who the real leader is, here are the numbers: according to a Canalys report, seven out of the ten best-selling smartphones last year were iPhones. Yes, seven!
Why iPhone 15 is the Absolute Champion
A huge part of Apple’s success comes from the iPhone 15 – this beauty grabbed a 3% share of the global market, translating to an impressive 36.6 million units sold. And no, this isn’t a coincidence; it’s a clear sign that users are willing to pay for quality, reliability, and status.
Flagships Are In, Budget Phones Are Out
The iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 15 Pro also made the top three. Their prices might make some people hesitate, but premium devices are selling like hotcakes. This once again proves that demand for high-end smartphones is only growing, even amid economic uncertainty. In 2024, five out of the ten best-selling smartphones were flagships, up from just four in 2023.
Samsung is Holding On – But Barely
The only company still putting up some resistance to Apple is Samsung. Its budget-friendly Galaxy A15 landed in fourth place, with the A15 5G in eighth. The Galaxy S24 Ultra barely made the list, sitting at ninth place. Meanwhile, other manufacturers didn’t even crack the top ten – a clear indication that the real battle is between these two giants.
iPhone 13 – The Long-Lasting Bestseller
Even the iPhone 13, which isn’t exactly new, is still outselling most of its competitors. It claimed the tenth spot with a 1.5% share (around 18.3 million units), proving that iPhones don’t just age – they become classics.
Conclusion: If You Want a Smartphone, Get an iPhone
Apple isn’t just leading – it’s setting the industry standard. Other brands are trying to catch up, but it seems the biggest battle has already been won. In 2024, the iPhone is more than just a phone; it’s the benchmark that everyone else has to measure up to.
