Many still don't understand that specs are not to most important thing for customers and the lower tier iPhones prove this year after year.

      These top 10 are only generating 14.4% sales in total. The rest 85.6 are the real contributors for the sales. No surprise Apple dominated top 10 since they only have less than 10 phones in store. And they still manage to sell that outdated yet capable iPhone 7. Ugh.

        Anonymous, 28 Feb 2020Like i said XR is only one model. If there would be bigger ... moreYes iphone still cost more than the android, but the fact cheapest iphone is the most selling iphone means iphone user love cheap iphone, imagine if apple release another cheap iphone like they did with iphone SE, my money is that 399$ will be the most selling iphone LMAO, just accept that both android and apple love a cheap phone.

          Everyone knows that TIKTOK APP helped APPLE a lot in their sales.

            roppanGunawan, 28 Feb 2020Yes but who will combine iphone 11 pro and pro max into one... moreLike i said XR is only one model. If there would be bigger and smaller XR, sales would spread with those and suddenly one couldn't sell as much.

            Also even XR cost 3 times more than average android phone, so yes android users usually buys cheap androids, that's just a fact which can be seen from android average price compared to iPhone average price.

              mark, 28 Feb 2020YOU GOT it wrong mate.. who says you cannot sideload app f... moreI am an iPhone user so I know it better

                mind blowing how in just 1 quater the iPhone 11 was able to outsell almost every other device. the 50$ price cut apple made was the absolute right move. the iPhone 11 sold so much faster than the XR so it's clear which phone will top the 2020 chart.

                  Anonymous, 28 Feb 2020There is one thing you are missing here. Apple have iPhone ... moreYes but who will combine iphone 11 pro and pro max into one sales? They're different model, just like you can't combine vanilla iphone 11 sales to the pro/promax. If you can combine them the iPhone XR will not be on top lol.
                  It's says this is 2019 not last year is true but iphone xr still number one if you also compare it to iPhone XS which was released at the same year, it's true that people buy expensive 11 pro series, but cheapest iphone 11 is still the most phone that people will buy, just like what happened to XR and XS where XR reign supreme in the sales, which is once again proving that iphone user love the cheapest phone more lol
                  i'm actually don't care what happened to apple,samsung,huawei,oppo etc, but when someone said that android user love buy cheap android phone is making me LOL and can't accept the fact that iphone user also love cheapest apple iphone

                      roppanGunawan, 28 Feb 2020Pftt yeah i know that iphone 11 pro made to the top 10, but... moreThere is one thing you are missing here. Apple have iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max. of course those invidually can't beat the sales of regular iPhone 11, because same people are buying Pro and Pro Max, if you combine those sales those are quite close to iPhone 11. So lot of iPhone people are buying expensive models.

                      Why XR is at top? propably because it had sales for whole year unlike iPhone 11 family which was released september. It's actually quite crazy to see iPhone 11 so high in the list while we don't see S10 anywhere, which had 9 months of sales.

                        Hilmawan, 28 Feb 2020You must be blind, right? Don't you see that the iPhone 11 ... morePftt yeah i know that iphone 11 pro made to the top 10, but the fact that cheapest iphone Xr is number 1 rather than iphone 11 pro is a sign that you guys also love cheap phone but want the cheap iphone not the android lol, oh what's the number 2? Ohh it's also the cheapest of the iphone 11 series which is the vanilla iPhone 11 not the pro not pro max, ohh i see, i think you guys and the android users are not that much different, both love the cheap phone. And i don't say that people are stoopid for buying expensive android / iphone, it's their money, they're rich, they can do whatever they want, what? You can't afford the iPhone 11 Pro Max and S20 Ultra altogether? So you choose one side of the phone instead loving all the platforms? Pftt, what? You says that android user love buying cheap android phone? This is where you don't get my point, iPhone user also love cheap phone it's all been said in the data that cheapest iPhone Xr and cheapest iphone 11 series are made to the top 2 lol

                          roppanGunawan, 28 Feb 2020pftt yeah right, so is the apple user can only afford a che... moreYou must be blind, right? Don't you see that the iPhone 11 Pro Max made it into the list of the top 10 global best selling phones in 2019?

                          But i don't see top of the line phones from any Android brands on list and do you know what's so embarrassing? Not only iPhone XR is still more expensive than all the android phones on the list but also quite a lot of android users who are willing to buy a phone with $#!tty specs and features when there's a better options just because their love for a certain brand.

                            Hilmawan, 27 Feb 2020No wonder Apple make more money from smartphone sales than ... morepftt yeah right, so is the apple user can only afford a cheap iPhone Xr instead of iPhone 11 pro max that's why xr is leading the sales of iPhone

                              AnonD-889996, 28 Feb 2020Because people don't have to spend much for a capable and c... moreCome on, be honest. The only reason why most Android users buy Samsung phones is because they are di€ hard fanboys who can't afford flagship phones.

                              If android users really use their common sense when buying a phone they would prefer a Chinese phone or an Android One that has better support.

                                Anonymous, 28 Feb 2020Yes, cheap phones are good and does the job. Why should I ... moreIf that is indeed the reason they buy cheap phones then it makes Samsung users look even more $+up!d because there is no logical reason for them to waste money buying Samsung phones when Chinese brands provide better phones at lower prices.

                                  toukale, 28 Feb 2020iPhone devices are considered luxury devices because they a... moreYou're right.

                                  There are some things Android can't do.

                                  Now that I'm not an ios fanboy (I used to assume iPhones were rubbish, ex. 6s with its bendgate issue) and I still use an Android phone (GS10) alongside my iPhone 11. I can't let go of Android (planning to buy Mi 10 Pro or realme X50 Pro). But I've learnt that Apple has stepped up the game with first, its iPhone XR. That made me buy an iPhone. The ecosystem is just exclusive, although you need to beware not to get trapped into it by replacing phones too often or buying their accessories-I rely on 3rd party ones).

                                  ios is just quite different. Probably not so user-friendly at the end (ex. volume controls), but they're in their own league.

                                  Look at Mi 8 and Mi A2 shamelessly copying the iPhone X. Glad they've changed this with the very nice Mi 9. Vivo copies Apple's OS, are they out of ideas?

Give me an example. Even cheapest high-performance phone (realme X2 Pro) that can potentially beat Apple will set you back $400/€350 and above. Silly.

                                      PepperPot, 28 Feb 2020Somewhat confused myself. I'm going to assume they are bre... moreiPhone devices are considered luxury devices because they are unique. Apple have their own OS, their own app store, their own platform. What exactly is unique about what Android oem's are offering. They all use the same OS, same platform, same parts. There is very little that is unique between them, so they can only compete on price. Essentially a carbon copy of the pc market.

                                        Panda eyes, 28 Feb 2020I think the high price is putting people off, only Apple ca... moreA series are also too expensive and tasteless.

                                        A30s/A40s costs more than a Redmi Note 8 Pro in here. And yet the Redmi has way more powerful chipset (it can run PUBG at HD Ultra framerate, the A30s/A40s only top out at low graphics high framerate). Camera experience is just about similar, average of course, considering the price point. Tried all phones in a phone store and even the A30s/A40s struggles to load the main screen: it just lags. The Redmi is much smoother.

                                        Only plus point of the A series, including A50s, A70, etc. are displays but they are handicapped by underpowered Exynos chipsets. A71 even uses Sd730 this time, which is way more powerful than the A70. Even an old, throttled (and actually, quite rubbish) iPhone 6s runs faster than the A30s/A40s.

                                        Sammy fanboys never change.
