Counterpoint, an authoritative research organization, recently released the ranking of smartphone sales in the United States for October, revealing the trend of market leaders and potential challengers in the rankings.
Thanks to the hardware upgrades and the addition of high-end design elements, Apple's iPhone 15 Pro Max topped the sales charts with a market share of 24%, beating its iPhone 15 Pro (16%) and iPhone 15 (13%) peers.
It is worth noting that Apple's new large-screen iPhone 15 Plus did not perform well in the market, not entering the top four, but the iPhone 14 launched last year became the "dark horse" on the list with 4% sales. This is mainly due to the fact that consumers are attracted by the iPhone 15 Pro Max's 5x optical zoom, the more powerful A17 Pro chip, and better battery life, and then turn to the higher-end product line.
Even more striking is the fifth competitor, Samsung's Galaxy A14 5G, which has a market share of 3%. Although it is not a new or innovative product in 2023, it stands out from the market due to its high cost performance, such as the LCD display, equipped with Dimensity 700 processor, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, and supporting up to 1TBMicroSD card expansion.
In addition, the Galaxy A14 5G also has an excellent triple camera rear camera system, a 50MP HD main camera, a 13MP selfie camera on the front, a 5000mAh battery, and 15W fast charging. With packages partnered with Walmart and StraightTalk, the Galaxy A145G is available to consumers at $79.88, while the official price is only $199.99.
