The iPhone 13 Was the Best Selling Smartphone in China Last Year [Chart]

The iPhone 13 was the best the selling smartphone in China last year, capturing over 10% of the entire market, according to a new report from Counterpoint Research. The iPhone 13 captured the three top spots in the top ten, followed by HONOR with four spots, vivo with two spots, and OPPO with one.

There were over 980 smartphone models purchased in China last year, down from 1,100 in 2021.

Apple contributed over 10% of China's smartphone sales volume in 2022. The iPhone 13 was the best-selling smartphone in China with a 6.6% market share, rising from the third spot in 2021 with a 2.3% share. Also, the iPhone 13's sales more than doubled in 2022 compared to the previous year. The iPhone 13 was followed by the iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 13 Pro in the next two spots. These three iPhones contributed to 60% of Apple's smartphone sales in China in 2022. This was the first time that Apple's Pro variants were in the top 10 list for China.


Counterpoint notes that share of the top ten models in China has been flat at around 22% over the past three years, due to a continuous decline in annual smartphone sales. Notably, the iPhone was the only device on the top ten with a price higher than $500. In 2022, nine of the top ten devices had 5G support, up from six in 2021.
