Apple's iPhone 17 Is the Best-Selling Phone for the First Quarter of 2026

Counterpoint Research says Apple’s iPhone 17, 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max were the top three best-selling phones worldwide in Q1 2026.

Samsung filled most of the remaining top 10 with budget Galaxy A models such as the A07 4G and A17 5G.

Only one Xiaomi device, the Redmi A5, made the list, underscoring the strength of Apple’s premium lineup and low-cost Android phones.

The rankings come as component shortages and higher prices pressure the market and may shift buying behavior.
