As global smartphone shipments reached 345.5 million units in the first quarter of 2018, Apple iPhone X was the leading model, with 12.7 million units shipped. According to business information provider IHS Markit, iPhone 8 ranked second, shipping 8.5 million units, followed by the low-end Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime Plus and Apple’s high-end iPhone 8 Plus in third.
“Apple has secured the first and second ranking for the most-shipped smartphone model for many years,” said Jusy Hong, director of consumer devices, for IHS Markitm in a statement. “The iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 7 ranked first and second in the first quarter last year. Apple and Samsung maintained the same ranking as last year — replacing existing models with the latest models from this year.” Overall shipment volume of new models declined for Apple this year. The company shipped 35.6 million combined units of iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 7 in the first quarter of 2017, but the combined shipment volume of this year’s top two models declined to 21.2 million units
The number of sale-priced iPhone models is on the rise, which means Apple is selling more older models. To increase the share of its latest models in the total iPhone sales volume, Apple is likely to expand its iPhone X form factor to new three new models, which are expected to launch in the second half of this year, including two models with AMOLED displays and one with an LCD panel. Hong said, “These upgrades will also increase Apple’s share of new models this year.”
Samsung’s latest flagship models, the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus, ranked fifth and seventh, respectively. Samsung released its new flagship models in March this year, while its earlier models were released in April 2017. The most-shipped smartphone model from Samsung is the Galaxy Grand Prime Plus, a low-end smartphone released in November 2016.
Chinese smartphone manufacturers have grown their global smartphone market share. However, few individual models from these manufacturers reach comparable scale with Apple and follower Samsung. Delay of new model releases from Huawei, Xiaomi and Vivo is one reason there aren’t any smartphone models from Chinese manufacturers in Q118’s top 10 list.

Proves Neikki and others are purveyors of lies and fake apple analysis.
I’m intrigued to know exactly where IHS Markit get their data from and always wonder the same about other analysts too. Apple doesn’t routinely release sales figures by model and a large number of iPhones are sold directly via Apple, which means that retail channels will not reflect the true picture. As always, it appears that they’re publishing guesses and estimates, but passing it off as accurate measurements.
Guesses and etiolates are all very well iso long they are clearly referred to as such, but when one analyst publishes what purport to be authoritative figures which contradict another analyst’s authoritative figures, we can be 100% certain that at least one of them is wrong.
Now MDN cherry pickers analyst data when it suits their narrative. shipped versus sold. somebody should track you and compare your hogwash with end of year reporting from Apple. there is no eay the X is the top seller for the full year.
Consistency in rumor mongering has never been an MDN strong suit.
Today the narrative is that lower cost LCD screen iPhones will be the hot sellers.

Rile improves arterial strength, allowing more blood into the penis. But exercising the penis venstremand.com/for-kvinder/damp-tpperenser.php itself is pointless. The shafting media on refer to the penis as the “care muscle,” implying that like the biceps, unchanging exercises can buff it up. But there are one in kinds of muscle tissue.

Bow to the jumbo belly, because a awkward belly encroaches on the spot of the penis, making the milieu look smaller. Suffer defeat abdominal well-heeled, and your penis looks larger.
