While Android-based smartphones from Samsung and Huawei are more common in South Africa, Apple is very popular in some of the biggest smartphone markets in the world — including its home ground of the United States.
According to Newzoo’s Global Mobile Market Report, the US has one of the highest penetration rates for smartphone users at over 80%.
With a market share of around 55% in a country with a population of more than 300 million people, it’s easy to see why Apple’s iPhones account for seven of the top ten touchscreen-based smartphones sold in the world.
Below are images, specifications, pricing, and the latest reported sales numbers of the top 10 best-selling smartphones of all time. The list does not include any feature phones, bar phones, or flip phones.
In rows where more than one specification is noted, the top refers to the higher-end model and the bottom to the lower-end variant.
