It took 4% of the market last quarter
iPhone 13 became the best-selling smartphone in India in the fourth quarter. According to Counterpoint data, cited by 91mobiles, the brainchild of Apple has occupied 4% of the Indian market.
Considering that in general, inexpensive smartphones are best sold in India, and Xiaomi and Samsung devices are usually in the lead there, this is a very serious achievement for Apple.
It looks especially impressive if you look at the top five best-selling smartphones. Indeed, in addition to the iPhone 13, there are Samsung Galaxy M13, Xiaomi Redmi A1, Galaxy A04s and Realme C35, that is, the most affordable devices. At the same time, the iPhone 13 in India starts at $850. But Apple’s bestseller was helped by sales. The source says major marketplaces including Flipkart and Croma have been heavily discounting the iPhone 13 for under $600. But even for that kind of money, you can buy all the other four smartphones from the top five.
