Apr 11, 2021, 15:22 IST
The Apple iPhone 12 series has emerged as the best selling smartphone globally in January. Three iPhone 12 series smartphones (12, 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max) accounted for 71 per cent of Apple’s total sales for January, a report said.
The Apple iPhone 12 led the list followed by the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max, according to Counterpoint Research’s Market Pulse report. There was a pent-up demand for 5G upgrades within the iOS base, resulting in robust sales for the iPhone 12 series.
“Besides, Apple launched the new iPhone series later than the usual date, resulting in strong demand for these models spilling over into January,” the report stated late on Saturday. Nearly one-third of Apple’s sales for the iPhone 12 series came from the US due to strong carrier promotions and 5G demand.
