This report provides an analysis of the US Smartphone installed base by brand, model, and features.
-
Apple achieved the highest share of US smartphone installed base ever. A consecutive success of two 5G smartphone series, iPhone 12 and iPhone 13, was the main driver. Introducing new technology like 5G helped the brand to achieve the highest share by stimulating demand for early replacement.
