According to the recent report by a research firm, Apple sold 16 million units of iPhone X in Q1 2018 – almost double the estimated sales of iPhone X by another research firmreleased before Apple’s quarterly results were announced. The sales figure of iPhone X has completely debunked the notion that iPhone X was a “failure” or “flop”. This leads us to a fact that Apple iPhone X accounted for 4.6% of total smartphone market by models in Q1 2018.
The report on best-selling smartphones in Q1 2018 also highlights the undisputed domination of Apple on the smartphone industry. 4 out of top 5 world’s best selling smartphones in Q1 2018 carried Apple’s logo. iPhone 8 emerged as the second most selling smartphone in Q1 2018, followed by iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone 7.
It is not the first time when Apple iPhone X emerged as the most selling smartphone in a quarter. iPhone X secured the top position as the most selling smartphone in Q4 2017 with the sales figure of 29 million units.
The surprise is not just limited to Apple iPhone alone. The unprecedented sales performance of Xiaomi Redmi 5A made it the most selling Android smartphone, beating Samsung Galaxy Galaxy S9 Plus. By selling 5.4 million units of Redmi 5A in Q1 2018, Xiaomi has emerged as the only company alongside Apple in the list of world’s 5 most selling smartphones in Q1 2018.
