The iPhone XR was the most successful phone of all 2019.
According to data from the Omdia analysis firm, reported on February 25 by 9to5Mac, Apple sent 46.3 million iPhone XR in 2019. In comparison, Omdia notes that the next best-selling phones the same year were the iPhone 11 with 37.3 million shipments and the Galaxy A10 with 30.3 million. The iPhone 11 Pro Max was the sixth smartphone with more shipments accumulating 17.6 million, followed by the iPhone 8 with 17.4 million.
Omdia estimates that Apple’s iPhone shipments declined 4.6 percent in 2019 compared to the previous year due to an increase in the prices of the company’s phones, especially the iPhone 11. The iPhone XR was released shortly after the iPhone X and thanks to its features and its price (starts at US $ 599), it is a very good option even against the iPhone 11.
This year Apple will repeat a similar strategy by launching another economic phone, which would give the option to enjoy the users of their cell phones without having to pay a large amount of money. This phone, what could be called iPhone SE 2, would be the substitute for the small iPhone SE launched in March 2016.
According to rumors, this new iPhone SE 2 (or iPhone 9) will be presented in the first quarter of the year as the company is expected to hold an event on March 31.
