This is the ‘highest-selling smartphone’ in the US, for the fourth consecutive month

Apple iPhone 11 reportedly remained the top-selling smartphone in the US during the third-quarter (July-August-September) of the year 2020. The cheapest iPhone of 2019 holds on to this title for the fourth consecutive quarter, thanks to its $699 price tag as per Counterpoint Research’s monthly US Channel Share Tracker.
“The iPhone 11 remained the number one seller in the US market. It has remained the top seller for four consecutive quarters due to its $699 price point hitting the sweet spot for many consumers. The iPhone 11 has also been on an almost continuous promotion, often sold for $0 or $5 with eligible trade-ins within postpaid channels. The iPhone SE and iPhone 11 Pro Max were the number two and three top sellers,” said Counterpoint’s senior analyst Hanish Bhatia.
Overall, Apple iPhone sales remained strong in the quarter despite the delayed launch of the iPhone 12. While Apple sell-in dropped to 39% share of the market, the continued success of the iPhone 11 series and the iPhone SE 2020 helped the company maintain its position as the market leader. Samsung witnessed double-digit year-on-year (YoY) growth as the A-series and the premium Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy S20 series devices performed well against other Android competition.
