Models From the iPhone 12 Series are by Far the Best-Selling Phones in the U.S.

 

IC: iPhone

A survey conducted by Consumer Intelligence Research Partners found that the iPhone 12 series is the best-selling phone in the US. These models occupied as much as 61% of the mobile phone market in the second quarter of Apple's fiscal year 2021. Year.

Among them, the iPhone 12 is the best-selling model, followed by the iPhone 12 Pro Max, the iPhone 12 Pro, while the iPhone 12 mini is at the back. Still among all iPhone models in general, however, the best-selling is the iPhone 11, which alone generated nearly a quarter of Apple's phone sales.

CIRP co-founder Josh Lowitz commented on the results, which clearly show that users want "full-sized" phones, such as the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro, along with a slightly older model, the iPhone 11, and avoid smaller variants such as the iPhone mini and SE.

He also referred to a detail that suggests the iPhone 12 Pro Max was better sold than last year at the same time as its predecessor, the iPhone 11 Pro Max. The most expensive model this year accounted for 20% of total iPhone sales, while the previous model was 13% in total sales last year.

The iPhone 12 mini occupied only 5% of Apple's total sales. The reasons for this are most likely related to a smaller screen surface, which is less attractive due to less viewing when surfing, watching movies and playing games, as well as lower battery capacity. Still, the most likely reason is that the price of an iPhone mini model is only $100 lower than the price of a standard iPhone 12 model.
