Immediately after the presentation of the iPhone 12 series, the new Apple smartphones have traditionally shown excellent sales figures. However, besides the banal good revenue, the Cupertino company has much to be proud of.
iPhone 12 series will be the best-selling 5G smartphones by the end of 2020
Counterpoint Research’s iPhone 12 sales estimates showed that the 2020 iPhones accounted for 24% of all 5G smartphone sales in October 2020.
Counterpoint Research analysts in their research have summed up that there is now a great demand in the market for updating old devices to new 5G smartphones, especially within the iOS base, which has always actively attracted and still attracts both new users and old fans of Apple technology. Interestingly, Apple itself decided not only not to talk about the number of devices sold; but in general to comment on this achievement in any way.
Launched at $1,300, the Samsung Galaxy Note Ultra 5G was ranked as the third most popular 5G device. It is followed by products from the Chinese brands Huawei and Oppo.
Apple introduced the iPhone 12 line of smartphones in October; but sales did not start immediately, but in several waves. The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro hit store shelves in October. They were followed by the iPhone 12 mini and this year’s largest iPhone, the iPhone 12 Pro Max, in November.
