The iPhone 16 was the best-selling device for the first three months of the year, marking a return for the baseline iPhone model for the first time since 2023. The device fared particularly well across the Middle East and Africa region as well as Japan, where it recorded its highest growth.

The 16 Pro Max came in second, followed by the 16 Pro in third place. The 16 Pro series models accounted for nearly half of Apple’s total iPhone sales during the Q1 period.
