Apple’s iPhone 15 Tops Global Sales: The Most Popular Phone of 2024!

Apple continues to dominate the global smartphone market as the iPhone 15 has emerged as the highest-selling smartphone of 2024. According to Counterpoint’s latest global handset model sales tracker report, published on Monday, Apple’s iPhone 15 led the market, followed closely by the iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 15 Pro in second and third place, respectively.

iPhone 15 Leads Global Smartphone Sales

The iPhone 15, which became the best-selling smartphone in the world, introduced several key upgrades over its predecessor. It features a Dynamic Island display, a USB-C port, a 48 MP high-resolution camera, and new color options. These improvements, combined with significant discounts towards the end of 2024, helped Apple boost its sales despite the device lacking Apple Intelligence support.

iPhone 16 Pro Max Also Joins the Top 5

Apple’s influence extends beyond the iPhone 15 series. The iPhone 16 Pro Max, which launched just a few months ago, has already secured its place as the fifth-best-selling smartphone of 2024. This showcases the brand’s continued dominance in the premium smartphone segment.

Samsung Remains Apple’s Only Competitor

Apart from Apple, Samsung is the only other brand to make it into the top ten best-selling smartphones list. The Samsung Galaxy A15 5G and Galaxy A15 4G secured the fourth and sixth positions, respectively, while the Galaxy S24 Ultra ranked seventh. No other smartphone brand managed to break into the top ten list, reinforcing Apple and Samsung’s control over the market.

AI Capabilities Shape Smartphone Market Trends

The report highlights that AI-powered features played a crucial role in defining the smartphone market in 2024. Among the top ten best-selling smartphones, five models offered some form of generational AI capabilities. This trend underscores the increasing importance of artificial intelligence in high-end devices, setting a new standard for the industry.

As Apple continues to lead the smartphone market with its latest innovations and strong sales figures, the iPhone 15's success further cements the company's position as an industry leader.
