Not only in 2020 but Apple was able to be best selling smartphone in 2019 as well with its iPhone XR. Not only iPhone 11, iPhone SE and iPhone 12 have also followed to be the best selling smartphone list. In fact, five of the iPhones have managed to enter the top 10 in the list of the best-selling smartphones of 2020.
Samsung and Xiaomi have also got into the list, Samsung having 4 smartphones; budget, and a mid-range whereas Xiaomi with a single smartphone Redmi Note 9 Pro. Even the most reputed and well-positioned brand globally like Samsung had a hard time coming to the list.
It’s no surprise that Apple has managed to get the top spot as their phone is typically very fantastic in terms of usability and ease. With the Apple A3 Bionic Chipset and the advanced optimization of Apple, the phone is amazing, smooth, and fast. Additionally, the starting price of the phone was relatively low compared to previous generation pricing that made it affordable to most of the users wanting to have an iPhone.
