We do not know if we should surprise or not, but despite that very high prices for the iPhone ($999 starting price for iPhone X), Apple somehow manages to attract more and more fans from year to year.
This is how it is done in 2017 Apple sold no less than 223 million iPhone units, while last year, in 2016 has sold 211 millions of units.
A ranking made by USA TODAY put the iPhone first, in one top of the best-selling tech products in the 2017 year.
In first place we have "iPhone" with 223 million units, but they are in this top all iPhone models included which were sold by Apple in 2017.
On the following places of this ranking we find:
- Samsung Galaxy S8 and Note 8 : 33 million units sold
- Amazon Echo Dot : 24 million units sold
- Apple Watch : 20 million units sold
- Nintendo Switch : 15 million units sold
Therefore, the 2-5 places gathered do not gather as many units sold as he managed Apple with iPhone in 2017.
It is unlikely that the data will remain the same at the end of 2018, after Apple introduced the iPhone X on the market at prices considered excessively high, and the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus models are not at more affordable prices. The top of 2017 mostly reflects the sales of iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, these being the top of the range Apple until the fall, when it was launched iPhone X,. iPhone 8 si 8 iPhone Plus.
Although stocks of iPhone X have been sold out since the pre-order phase, before reaching the stores, it remains to be seen if during 2018, the three new models launched by Apple they will manage to maintain the upward trend of iPhone sales.
