- There are many reasons behind the success of iPhone 15:
- Its tremendous demand in big markets like America and China.
- The growing popularity of iPhone Pro models.
- Attractive financing and trade-in offers, making even expensive iPhones affordable for people.
Samsung’s great comeback!
Although Apple captured the top 3, Samsung also made a strong comeback. In 2024, four Samsung smartphones were included in the top 10, which is one more than in 2023. The most important thing was that the Samsung Galaxy S series returned to this list for the first time since 2018. The Galaxy S24 Ultra became very popular due to its GenAI features (such as Chat Assist, Circle to Search and Live Translation). Also, the Galaxy A15 series also performed well and surpassed its older model Galaxy A14. Its sales saw a tremendous jump, especially in North America.
