Apple has dominated the list of the top 10 global smartphone shipments as of April 2022. That’s according to a new report from market research firm Counterpoint Research. Going by the report, the top 10 models accounted for 21% of the overall smartphone market, with Apple contributing 89% of the total sales.
Apple’s iPhone 13 lineup helped ensure the company’s position on the top charts. Notably, the iPhone 13 was the best-selling phone in the world, followed closely by iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 12. While iPhone 13 contributed 5.5% of the sales, the 13 Pro Max and 13 Pro accounted for 3.4% and 1.8% of sales, respectively.
As Counterpoint Research notes, one interesting correlation this year in the best-selling phones is the widespread 5G availability. Of the top 10 phones, seven models support 5G, up from four in the same month last year. The report also mentions that the 5G phones on the list account for a third of the total 5G smartphone sales. “5G capability has become a standard offering in flagships and its presence is increasing in lower price bands as well,” states the report.
