This doesn't make sense.

If you grouping all the iPhone family, why don't you group all the Samsung Galaxy family too?
First: because Samsung names them differently and sells them as can moleey different lines, that’s why. iPhones are one line. Second: If those numbers are to be believed, grouping them wouldn’t matter. Samsung sold $33 million Notes. That seems low to me, but if it’s accurate, it probably wouldn’t matter if they grouped them anyway.

Best-selling tech product, sure. But most magical? Those would be the AirPods, which I've been wearing non-stop since Christmas. These things really are amazing!
People who don’t own them don’t get it! They’re a game changer.

Really nervous to see what they do with the SE. Same form factor with updated specs would make me very happy.
Even better: remove the bezels like the iPhone X and keep the SE aluminum sides and form factor. Probably won’t happen, but I’d love a bezeless iPhone with the classic iPhone 4 design.

thats not what the article is talking about , its straight sales.

perhaps you should read the article.....

samsung is 100 million phones more than apple in '17 alone.
It cracks me up when people who have no idea what they’re talking about act so confident. If you actually read the article, you’d know that it’s about which was the top selling product (iPhone) not “which company sold the most phones, including sh!tty sub-$300 ones”.

Oh, who to believe? So many cranks here have been going on about massive oversupply, record amounts of iPhone X returns, and low traffic in Apple stores. What world do they live on? Hahahahahahaha.
The same angry, irrational haters who say that The Last Jedi is worse than the prequels.

Only best selling.

Alexa is teaching my three year old to annunciate. There is real value in her being able to request a song and turn the lights on.
I’ve been turning on 20 different lights in my house for years using Siri, as well as requesting songs, cuing up movies, sending emails and texts, setting appointments and reminders, surfing the web... welcome to the party.

iPhone SE is $159 at Best Buy for Simple Mobile and other prepaid services.

Period.

The j3 elipsw for the same service is $169.

$10 more than an iPhone SE

they are in direct competition.

Period.

Your opinion does not overrule facts
Get wise. Retailers are free to discount prices to consumers, but that doesn’t change the value of the phone, or what they pay Apple for it. The J3 is a cheaper phone that’s in a different, lower category. Samsung lists the J3 on their site for $149. Apple lists the iPhone SE for $349 on their site. Writing “period” doesn’t make your weak argument or lack or retail insight any more effective.

Again, you’re talking about the hardware with your last sentence. There’s many reviewers and tech people on YouTube claiming the Pixel 2 XL to be the best phone and their favourite phone of the year. This is despite heavy criticism of the screen and any of its shortcomings. All because of how good the software is. That is pretty damn amazing to me, the fact that for many the quality experience of the software negates any of its hardware issues.

As for preferring iOS 11.2.1 on iPhone X, I guess it’s subjective. I loved using the gestures on that phone, the screen, build quality etc. It’s just the iOS 11 part that I don’t agree with. It didn’t feel like I was using a 1k phone at all because of the UI inconcistencies and frame drops around the OS. I switched to Android purely because of that. Not having any said frame drop issues with my Pixel 2.

Not sure what these inconsistencies and “frame drops” are that you’re talking about. My iPhone X is fast as hell and iOS 11 runs like butter on it. Can you be more specific?
 
I don't understand why the Apple Watch sells so well. I just don't see the use in the product whatsoever. It's only good for notifications and some health stats, why spend hundreds of dollars on that? You already get the same notifications on your phone.
It’s like TiVo back in the day—you didn’t know why you needed one until you owned it. Then you’d never give it up.

Weeks before the iPhone X was to be released, a T-Mobile salesperson that personally owned a iPhone 8 speculated that when people see that the iPhone X has the "same" features as the 8, they would sell more iPhone 8s. Fortunately, she wasn't charged with maintaining inventory.
 
you have the iPhone X with its ugly notch and lack of home button.

Notch is absolutely fine and lack of home button? Lets just say it is just as annoying as the lack of 3.5mm headphone jack which I am missing it like a salt in my eyes.
Going back to home button feels quite old. But I don't expect people who have not used it to understand this.

no...its because if you combined them all this articles would cease to exist.

You mean combine all the trashy £50 plastic phones Samsung sell in one group with high end Galaxy phones? Yeah, that would probably be fair according to some.
 
no...its because if you combined them all this articles would cease to exist.

What if Apple just told which iPhone sold the most and how many...
Think that would’ve changed anything on this list?
Except for the 223 million number...
