In 2018 Apple launched the iPhone XR, a terminal that received, as usual, a series of criticisms around the price, the screen, the design, the camera ... The normal thing with each new Apple device, especially if they are not the typical releases to be expected. Regardless, the iPhone XR had all the ingredients to become a bestseller, and Apple knew it. So much so that As it already happened in 2018, this year 2019 the iPhone XR has been the best-selling device on the market, by far, Does he deserve that position among the best? Apple seems to have got it right again.
The consulting and analysis firm Om Day has conducted a study that gave him the following results about the sales of the phones during 2019 around the world:
- iPhone XR> 46,3 million
- iPhone 11> 37,3 million
- Samsung Galaxy A10> 30,3 million
- Samsung Galaxy A50> 24,2 million
- Samsung Galaxy A20> 19,2 million
- iPhone 11 Pro Max> 17,4 million
- iPhone 8> 17,4 million
- Xiaomi Redmi Note 7> 16,4 million
Samsung's mid and low range continues to position itself among the first, and keeping afloat a company that has not cast any Galaxy "S" or any "Note" at the top, while its cheaper models continue to reign, even more so now that its intermediate range has undergone a major renovation to catch up with the competition.
Another brand that seems to sell more than it really sells is Xiaomi, which sneaks the Redmi Note 7, a "low cost" phone also among the best sellers. In countries like Spain it became a real success in campaigns like Black Friday. In the meantime, The iPhone XR and its evolution, the iPhone 11, dominate the market with a steel arm, and that is the reason why Apple is never going to launch a cheap phone, because it does not need it.
