Introduction

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.

So, how did the iPhone 13 Series perform, and why did the iPhone 13 top the list of the highest-selling smartphone? Let’s find out.

iPhone 13 Series Performance in the US and Global Market

Globally, the three models of the iPhone 13 Series - iPhone 13, 13 Pro Max, and 13 Pro were the top three best-selling smartphones. The three iPhones captured a 5.5%, 3.4%, and 1.8% share of the global smartphone market in April 2022. The non-Pro iPhone 13 model continues to top the market and has done better than the Pro variants in terms of sales in most large markets.

Similarly, the highest selling iPhone 13 model in the USA was the vanilla iPhone 13, with a 17% sales share. The iPhone 13 Pro Max was second with a 16% sales share.
