The International Data Corporation (IDC), a well-known company that deals with market analysis in the technology sector, has compiled the list of the best-selling smartphones in the first three quarters of 2021. Apple with its iPhones has been confirmed as the undisputed leader in sales for years, occupying 4 places in the first 5 positions.
To stop the domination of the Cupertino giant is Samsung with an entry-level smartphone, which carries the flag of Android smartphones high. The news was released by IDC vice president Francisco Jeronimo.
In the ranking we do not find any smartphone from the iPhone 13 range, which having been released in September did not re-enter the list despite the great success and the high number of units sold. Recall that the ranking in question concerns the sales of the first 9 months of the year.
