iPhone remained the world’s most popular smartphone by a significant margin<\/a> last quarter, according to research firm Strategy Analytics.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\n
\niPhone 7<\/a> and iPhone 7 Plus were the two most popular models specifically, with an estimated 21.5 million and 17.4 million shipments respectively.<\/p>\n

Chinese brand OPPO’s flagship R9 smartphone trailed in third with an estimated 8.9 million shipments, while Samsung’s mid-range Galaxy J3 and J5 rounded off the top five with an estimated 6.1 million and 5 million shipments respectively. Other brands combined for an estimated 294.4 million smartphone shipments.<\/p>\n

\n
\nApple reported that it sold 50.8 million iPhones last quarter<\/a>, but it does not break out sales on a model-by-model basis.<\/p>\n

Strategy Analytics’ estimates suggest the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus accounted for roughly 76.5 percent of Apple’s smartphone sales last quarter, with the remaining 23.5 percent of sales derived from older models. The data also suggests a 55\/45 percent sales split for the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus respectively.<\/p>\n

In late January, Apple CEO Tim Cook<\/a> said the iPhone 7 Plus is the most popular Plus-sized iPhone that Apple has ever sold<\/a>, topping both the iPhone 6s<\/a> Plus and iPhone 6 Plus. Last week, he added that Apple significantly underestimated iPhone 7 Plus demand<\/a>, resulting in a shortage of the device for several months.<\/p>\n

iPhone was the world’s most popular smartphone last year<\/a> as well, according to research firm IHS Markit. <\/p>\n
