This chart ranks the best-selling individual smartphone models of all time by units sold worldwide, measured in millions, excluding classic feature phones.
About This Dataset
Best-Selling Smartphones of All TimeApple utterly dominates this ranking, holding nine of the top ten best-selling smartphones ever. The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus lead at 222.4 million units, a figure no other single smartphone has matched, followed by the 6S and 5S. The only non-Apple entry is Samsung's Galaxy S4 at 70 million, underlining how Android sales are spread thinly across countless models and brands rather than concentrated in a few blockbusters. Apple's strategy of releasing a small number of flagship models each year, kept on sale for long periods and sold globally, allows individual iPhones to accumulate the enormous per-model totals seen here. The gradual decline from 222.4 million down to 63 million shows steady, sustained demand across successive iPhone generations.
