According to a report by Fast Technology on February 11, market research firm Canalys has released the top ten shipping models of 2023, with domestic smartphones all making the list, with 7 seats occupied by iPhones alone.
From the list, it can be seen that Apple and Samsung dominated the top ten, with models including iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 13, Samsung A14, iPhone 15 Pro, Samsung A54, Samsung A14, and iPhone 15.
The sales of the iPhone 14 Pro Max, the best-selling model, reached an astonishing 34 million units. Keep in mind that this device has a starting price of 8999 yuan in the domestic market, and even with later price reductions and promotions, the average price remains around 8000 yuan this year, making it a relatively high-priced product.
On the other hand, sales of domestic smartphones globally have been lagging, mainly due to suppression. For example, Xiaomi was originally the top-selling brand in the Indian market, but faced suppression from the Indian government, resulting in a significant decrease in smartphone sales.
Additionally, domestic smartphones have achieved good results in the domestic market, with commendable sales performance. However, in the international market, domestic smartphones still need to strive for improvement, especially in the high-end smartphone segment. It remains to be seen whether Huawei's return can change this situation.
