World No. 1! iPhone 13, iPhone 14 Pro Max in top 10 best-selling smartphones of 2022 list

Apple's iPhones continue to be the hottest-selling smartphones in the market with more than 1.5 billion iPhone users worldwide. To add to the growing list of accolades, a recent report has revealed that Apple dominates the Top 10 Best-Selling Smartphones of 2022 list with as many as 8 iPhones making the list. The report was prepared by Counterpoint Research using its Global Monthly Handset Model Sales Tracker.

The report revealed that iPhone 13 was the best-selling smartphone of 2022 with 5% market share. Apple iPhones took the third, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth spots in the list too. According to Counterpoint Research, it is the first time that a brand has captured 8 spots in the top 10 best-selling smartphones of the year list. Apple claimed 8 spots in the list despite 3 of the iPhones only being available September onwards.

It is also the first time that the “Pro Max” iPhone models were sold more than the Pro and base iPhone models. The iPhone 13 Pro Max captured the 2nd spot while the iPhone 14 Pro Max rounded up the top 3.
