iPhone 11 now ‘the world’s most popular smartphone’ as it surpasses iPhone XR

Chance Miller, 9to5Mac:

New data released by Omdia today says that the iPhone 11 has usurped the crown of being the “world’s most popular smartphone” from the iPhone XR. According to data, Apple shipped 19.5 million iPhone 11 units during the first quarter of this year.

This is remarkable. If you add sales numbers for the next three smartphones together (that’d be the Samsung Galaxy A51, and Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 8 and Redmi Note 8 Pro), they’d just about equal iPhone 11 sales.

Also of note, iPhone 11 Pro Max still lags behind iPhone XR sales. Premium price for the Pro Max, iPhone XR still has legs, though I suspect second quarter will see the rise of the iPhone SE.
