iPhone 17 Line Is the Best Selling Global Smartphone for 2026 Q1

The worldwide best-selling phone for the first quarter of this year is the iPhone 17, where it got 6% global sales. The iPhone 17 line finished in the top 3 spots, with the iPhone 17 Pro in third, and the iPhone 17 Pro Max in second.


The success of the iPhone 17 came from the upgrades that made the base iPhone 17 model close to the Pro models, featuring higher base storage of 256GB, faster display-refresh rate of 120Hz, and improved cameras.

Samsung, with its Galaxy A series, took the remaining spots, with the Galaxy A07 being the best-selling Android phone for this quarter. The base iPhone 17 will be enjoying a longer run in the flagship department, lasting for 6 months, as the iPhone 18 will be released early next year. Apple is looking to shake up its release cycle for its upcoming devices.
