Global technology market research firm – Counterpoint Research has published the Q4 2022 quarter’s smartphone sales data for the Indian market. According to the data, Apple iPhone 13 was the best-selling smartphone in the country during the Q4, 2022. As per the report, iPhone 13 had a 4% market share of sales followed by Samsung Galaxy M13 and Xiaomi Redmi A1 with 3% sales share each.
This is the first time an iPhone has topped the sales list in the Indian market which is cost-conscious and is dominated by budget phone choices.
