My thanks to hard points ers for their support of ninety five mac daily running up today. Early in the iphones life, apple only made one model for everyone that changed with the iphone six.
And today, the company releases four flagships every year and also offers the iphone 6 and previous years flagships。 It's a lot to keep up with, but a new study this week gives us a good picture of which iphone models are selling the best, according to the data from consumer intelligence research partners, the base model iphones account for forty two percent of iphone sales in twenty twenty four, the plus models account for thirteen percent, the pro models account for thirty percent, and the pro max models account for twenty six percent. On one hand, many might assume that the base iphone sales the best because it's most affordable.
But if you check iphone sales closely, you'll know that out of apple's new ships each year, it's the pro and pro max that are actually the best sellers. But there's an important detail to remember. These numbers compiled total iphone sales per model class.
An apple only ever sells one pro and one pro max model at any given time, but you can always buy several different base models. For instance, right now, apple cells, the iphone fourteen, iphone fifteen and iphone sixteen base models, the iphone fourteen plus, iphone fifteen plus and iphone sixteen plus plus models, and the iphone sixteen pro and iphone sixteen pro max. So while the base iphone class might be the best selling for apple, it's not actually the best selling model that honor goes to the pro max.
So in essence, apple's based model iphones are important to keep around, and that's why apple keeps around three years of base model iphone at any given time. And the pro and the pro max get cycled on a early basis because people keep paying more to get the best features. Another takeaway is that iphone plus sales look even more disappointing when you realized the numbers, compare three plus models against one pro max model, and they still lose by a lot.
You can hit the link in the shot notes to find the full study and see a breakdown of how exactly you can make sense of these numbers. There apps up another episode of ninety five mac daily.

Miller, and will be back tomorrow for a new episode of my five mac daily.
