iPhone 14 Pro Max is most shipped smartphone in 1H23

The iPhone 14 Pro Max is the most shipped smartphone worldwide in the first half of this year, with Apple shipping a total of 26.5 million units according to Omdia's Smartphone Model Market Tracker - 2Q23.

The iPhone 14 Pro Max is the most expensive model in the 14 series that Apple released last September and is priced from USD 1,099 to USD 1,599.

Taking second place is the Apple iPhone 14 Pro - the second most expensive model in the 14 series, priced from USD 999 to USD1,499. The model with the third largest shipment was the iPhone 14, making it the third 14 series model by Apple to enter the top 10 rankings for this quarter.

Comparing the top 10 models for the same period last year, shipments of the top-ranked model decreased by 7.2 million units for this year's iPhone 14 Pro Max. The iPhone 13 was last year’s top-selling model with a total of 33.7 million units shipped. However, when comparing the same lineup, the iPhone 13 Pro Max, which took second place last year, shipped 23 million units whereas its successor, the 14 Pro Max, shipped 3.5 million units more this year and rose in rankings by one notch. Shipments of the 14 Pro increased by 6.2 million units compared to its predecessor, the 13 Pro, and saw its ranking rise by two notches. However, comparing the standard 13 and 14 models, shipments of the 14 this year decreased by 17.2 million units compared to the 13.

The global smartphone market is recording negative growth as the mid- to low-end market shrinks due to economic recession and the expansion of the used smartphone market. On the other hand, the premium smartphone market is steadily increasing because replacement demand for Apple's premium models remains solid. In addition, as the preference for Apple increases as a premium smartphone, especially within emerging markets, the sales volume and proportion of high-end models such as Pro and Max continue to increase among Apple's iPhone series.

Five Apple models were in the top 10, and Samsung smartphones occupied the remaining five. Among Samsung's models, the Galaxy A14 recorded the highest shipment volume, which ranked 5th with 12.4 million units. Compared to last year's Galaxy A13, which ranked third with 16.2 million shipments, both shipments and rankings decreased compared to the previous product.
