Counterpoint also says it estimates total smartphone sales by 2021 at 1.39 billion units. This means that we are dealing with about 40 million iPhone 12s sold, 30 million iPhone 12 Pro Max, and about 28 million of each of the iPhone 13, 12 Pro and 11 models. from the A12 and Redmi 9A models.
However, it is confirmed that Samsung flagships were not very popular in 2021, compared to Apple, but also that the 12 Mini and 13 Mini variants were not a success for Apple. For this reason, the company will give up these devices in favor of a larger iPhone model. The iPhone 14 Max could offer the same hardware as the base iPhone 14, but with a larger 6.7 ”screen.
