Ahead of the year-end balance sheet, the most popular smartphones for the first three quarters of 2021 were unveiled.
As expected, Apple continues to dominate preference with four of the top five podium spots. Only one brand can resist this. Find out everything in this article.
iPhone 12 is a favorite of users around the world
This is still not the best time to take stock of 2021, but after nine months, you can already get an idea of the global preferences of users regarding the smartphone market.
With this in mind, renowned company IDC has just unveiled the most popular smartphones for the first three quarters of 2021. Unsurprisingly, Apple continues to dominate preferences, with the brand ranking four out of the top five on this list.
Thus, the iPhone 12 ranks first as the world’s best-selling smartphone in nine months after 2021. In third, fourth and fifth places are the iPhone 11, iPhone 12 Pro Max and iPhone 12 Pro, respectively.
Only one brand can stand up to Apple, which comes second in user preference. To the sound of drumming, we discover: Samsung with its Android Galaxy A12 terminal.
iPhone 13 has yet to become a global preference
And for those who are surprised that the new iPhone 13 is not among the world’s favorites, we remind you that the model was only launched in the third quarter and therefore has not yet had enough time to hit the market. rating.
Obviously, in a future balance sheet spanning all of 2021, Apple’s new model will already manage to move closer to the top.
Unfortunately, IDC did not disclose the number of units sold for each of these models. It is possible that he will preserve this vital information for a deeper balance that includes the whole of 2021. But for now, we will find out the trend in user preferences.
And in this area, there is no question that Apple’s market strategy still works very well with its users.
Component shortage crisis will affect Xiaomi
One of the big surprises in this IDC market analysis is the absence of Xiaomi. But according to figures previously released by Counterpoint Research and Canalys, the Chinese manufacturer has been fined by the global chip shortage crisis, behind Apple in the number of smartphones sold.
Xiaomi itself assumed that the fall in its financial results was directly related to this factor when it presented its financial statements for the third quarter of this year.
According to the Chinese brand, in the third quarter of 2021, the company sold and sold 43.9 million smartphones worldwide, down 6% from the same period in 2020.
