Although Apple has always been considered by many the best telephone brand, that does not mean that everyone has or wants one, especially because the price has always been quite high, and most people are not looking to spend so much on a simple phone, which makes brands with lower ranges get those extra sales.
However, this could change in 2025, since today Apple is about to surpass its rival Samsung in terms of global sales, leaving behind Xiaomi and the rest of the brands that, despite having those low and mid-range phones, are not able to match the sales of the apple.
Best selling phone of 2025
The battle between Samsung and Apple has been in the air for many years, however, the fact that Samsung phones are becoming more and more expensive, and that Apple continues to be the undisputed leader in performance and durability of devices, means that the scales are becoming more balanced. that he is going to turn around.
During the third quarter of 2024, Apple sold 56 million phonescompared to Samsung’s 57.8 million, a very small difference, especially if we compare it with the same quarter of 2023, where Apple sold 54.1 million (1.9 million less), and Samsung 59.5 million (1.7 million more), which wants say that the Korean company would be losing sales in favor of the apple, something that if it continues like this, could result in a change of leader next year.
Furthermore, there is another cause that can tilt these numbers even more, and that is the release of the iPhone SE 4a very complete phone, with an already “large” size, and with cutting-edge components to support Apple Intelligence, as well as USB-C, great photographic quality, etc., and all with the iOS 18 system at a price that could around 600 euros, something very striking and that gives us, for the first time, a true mid-high range iPhone at a very low cost, which would boost the brand’s sales and do a lot of damage to Samsung, Xiaomi and other companies. who bet on that price range.
All of this data comes without the sales of the iPhone 16 having yet been collected, so it could vary quite a bit, and despite being a success due to Apple Intelligence, it has also been a failure by not bringing great news, for example. We will see how the data behaves in the coming months, but as we said, in 2025, iPhones could be the best-selling phones in the worldalthough there are already countries where up to 70% of users use one, so we are talking at a global level, because by continents, Apple would already be the winner, and only in Africa, India and similar countries, where purchasing power is very low, is what would keep Samsung in first place.
And you, do you think that Apple will finally surpass Samsung, or will everything remain a scare for the Koreans, who will maintain their position for another year? Leave us a comment with your opinion.
