Apple leads the list of best-selling high-end smartphones in the first quarter of 2023

Apple products completely dominate other competitors and lead the top 15 best-selling high-end smartphone models in the first quarter of 2023.

According to a report published by Canalys, global smartphone sales are currently declining.

However, in the high-end smartphone segment (priced from 500 USD or more), going against the trend, more and more users are willing to spend more money to own expensive phones.

Canalys also said that compared to the same period last year, smartphone sales in the first quarter of 2023 decreased by about 13.3%, but high-end smartphone sales increased by 4.7% compared to the first quarter of 2022. In particular, Apple's iPhone products are completely dominating the high-end segment.

They also announced the list of 15 best-selling high-end smartphone models in the first quarter of 2023, in which the iPhone is completely dominating its competitors with up to 7 models on the list.

Specifically, up to 4/5 of the best-selling high-end smartphone models in the first 3 months of 2023 belong to "Apple" including iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 14 and iPhone 13. Of which, 3 versions of iPhone 14 launched in September last year are all in the top 3 best-selling high-end smartphones in the first quarter of 2023.

In addition to the top 4 positions, Apple also added 3 other names, including iPhone 14 Plus (in 6th place), iPhone 12 (in 8th place) and iPhone SE (3rd version, launched in 2022) in 11th place.

One surprise is the appearance of the iPhone SE (2022) in the top 10 best-selling high-end smartphones. Because this product is considered a failure of the company in terms of sales when the number of products sold did not meet expectations.

Besides, the iPhone 12 model was launched in 2020, but until now it is still a product loved and chosen by many people.

The top 15 best-selling high-end smartphones in the first quarter of 2023 also include the Galaxy S23 series launched by Samsung last February, including the Galaxy S23 Ultra (in 5th place), Galaxy S23 (in 7th place) and Galaxy S23 Plus (in 9th place).

Samsung still has 2 other representatives on this list, which are Galaxy Z Flip 4 (10th position) and Galaxy S21 FE 5G (15th position).

Chinese smartphone manufacturers are currently facing many difficulties in competing in the high-end smartphone segment, with only two names appearing in the list of best-selling products in the first quarter of 2023: Xiaomi 13 (13th place) and Huawei Mate 50 (14th place).

According to Canalys' report, Apple's superiority over other competitors in the high-end smartphone segment is still evident. It seems that the iPhone is still something that creates trust for users when they have to spend a large amount of money to own an expensive smartphone.
