iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus remained the world’s most popular smartphones<\/a> in the second quarter, ahead of Samsung’s newer Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+, according to market research firm Strategy Analytics.<\/p>\n

Apple shipped an estimated 16.9 million iPhone 7 units and 15.1 million iPhone 7 Plus units worldwide in the quarter, which corresponds with April through June, according to the firm’s latest Smartphone Model Tracker<\/a> report.<\/p>\n

“iPhone 7 remains the world’s most popular smartphone model overall, due to a compelling blend of user-friendly design, extensive supporting apps, and widespread retail presence for the device,” said Juha Winter, Senior Analyst at Strategy Analytics.<\/p>\n

Strategy Analytics estimates Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ shipments totaled 10.2 million and 9 million respectively in the quarter. The smartphones, released in April, were the world’s third and fourth most popular during the period.<\/p>\n

“Samsung’s Galaxy S8 has instantly become the world’s most popular Android smartphone model, due to its attractive curved-screen design, a rich portfolio of software apps, and best-in-class retail distribution across dozens of countries,” said Neil Mawston, Executive Director at Strategy Analytics.<\/p>\n

Rounding off the top five was Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi’s budget Redmi 4A handset with an estimated 5.5 million quarterly shipments.<\/p>\n

Apple reported it sold 41 million iPhones<\/a> last quarter, but it doesn’t break down the number on a model-by-model basis. Apple CEO Tim Cook did note<\/a> the iPhone 7 remained its most popular iPhone.\n<\/p>\n

iPhone results were impressive, with especially strong demand at the high end of our lineup. iPhone 7 was our most popular iPhone, and sales of iPhone 7 Plus were up dramatically compared to 6s Plus in the June quarter of last year. The combined iPhone 7 and 7 Plus family was up strong double digits year over year. One decade after the initial iPhone launch, we have now passed 1.2 billion cumulative iPhones sold.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Android still remains the world’s most widely adopted mobile operating system by a significant margin given the hundreds of smartphone models running that platform. Android accounted for 67 percent of U.S. smartphone activations in the second quarter, according to Consumer Intelligence Research Partners.<\/p>\n

iPhone 6s was similarly the world’s most popular smartphone model last year, according to market research firm IHS Markit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
