Apple’s iPhone 13 was the best-selling smartphone model in the USA. According to the reports of Counterpoint Research, in April, three of the latest iPhone 13 models captured the top three spots globally. Likewise, in the same month, the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro Max were the top two highest-selling phones in the USA.
