IPhone 12 is still the best-selling smartphone in 2021

While the Galaxy S21 may have overshadowed it, it seems iPhone 12 sales are in good shape. In the first quarter of 2021, the Apple phone and its variations are still the best-selling models.

Since their release at the end of 2020, the iPhone 12 has been at the center of the renaissance for Apple. They are at the origin of the record of turnover for the Cupertino company. In the meantime, the competition has had time to react. Samsung has also advanced the presentation of its new range of Galaxy S21 to meet its rival. This is not the case since in the first quarter of 2021, the latest iPhones are still leading the way in terms of revenue or number of models.

Three iPhone 12 models are among the bestsellers of the start of the year

Today, it is the specialized site Counterpoint Research which delivers these new data. On the one hand, the best sales of smartphones in terms of revenue and on the other hand the best performing in terms of volume. In both cases, there are three iPhone 12 models that are doing well to the detriment of competition relegated to the rank of arguing. The Pro Max accounts for 12% of the market in terms of revenue, followed by the standard version of the iPhone at 11% and then the Pro at 9%. For its part, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is in fifth position behind the iPhone 11 with 3% of overall revenues on the market.

In terms of volumes also the iPhone 12 is still the best on the market. The only model that has difficulty is the mini version. Apple reacted quickly since the production of these smartphones was reduced in order to leave more room for other models. No Samsung in the top positions in sales volume. It is Xiaomi with its Redmi 9 and 9A which confirms its good form internationally. So much so that the Chinese manufacturer titillates Apple on the European market.
