According to a new report, Apple recorded an unprecedented achievement in 2023, when seven iPhone models occupied the first seven places in the list of the ten best-selling smartphones in the world, according to data from the research company Counterpoint.
This is the first time in history that one manufacturer so completely dominates the sales chart.
The iPhone 15 series, which did not hit stores until September 2023, took the fifth to seventh places, while the three iPhone 14 models star at the top of the list, in the first to third place.
Even the iPhone 13, a 2022 model sold at a lower price, managed to take fourth place.
These data indicate a clear dominance of Apple in the smartphone market, especially in the United States and China, where half of the iPhone 14 was sold. However, for the first time in many years, no Samsung model was able to enter the top seven, and only the mid-range Galaxy A models were able to enter the list, in the eighth to tenth places.

This trend indicates a change in consumer preferences, who are gradually moving to the more expensive Apple devices, while Samsung is struggling to attract an audience with its flagship series.
However, it's important to note that the relatively inexpensive Galaxy A models still hold their own in the budget segment, but they don't directly compete with the iPhone.
It is also important to note that Android still dominates the smartphone market and is the most widely used operating system worldwide.
