During the first quarter of 2025, Apple’s iPhone 16<\/a> was the best selling smartphone in the world, according to estimates provided by Counterpoint Research<\/em><\/a>. After the \u200ciPhone 16\u200c, the iPhone 16 Pro<\/a> Max, \u200ciPhone 16 Pro\u200c, and the iPhone 15<\/a> were the other top four smartphones. Samsung’s Galaxy A16 5G took the fifth spot in the rankings.<\/p>\n

Last year, it was Apple’s Pro iPhone<\/a> that was the best seller. In Q1 2024, the \u200ciPhone 15\u200c Pro Max was the top selling smartphone, narrowly beating out the \u200ciPhone 15\u200c.<\/p>\n

Apple has narrowed the gap between its standard smartphones and its Pro lineup in terms of performance and feature set. The \u200ciPhone 16\u200c has an A18 chip that’s almost as fast as the A18 Pro in the \u200ciPhone 16 Pro\u200c Max, and it also has the same Action button and Camera Control button.<\/p>\n

Of the top 10 best selling smartphones in Q1 2025, Apple secured five of them. The top four, and then the 10th spot with the \u200ciPhone 16\u200c Plus. Samsung’s flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, took the 7th spot, while the other smartphones on the list are lower cost options.<\/p>\n

The $600+ iPhone 16e<\/a> was only on sale for part of the quarter, but it did take the sixth spot in Counterpoint’s top 10 list for March 2025, which was the first full month that it was available for purchase. The \u200ciPhone 16e\u200c is expected to sell better in its first year than the \u200ciPhone\u200c SE did during its first year thanks to its higher-end feature set.<\/p>\n

Counterpoint’s report focuses on rankings rather than unit sales, and while it does not break down sales by country, it does say that the \u200ciPhone 16\u200c sold particularly well in Japan and the Middle East and Africa (MEA) market. In China, the \u200ciPhone 16 Pro\u200c and Pro Max suffered because of government subsidies favoring lower-cost devices and competition from Chinese companies like Huawei.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
