As per the report, iPhone 13 had a 4% market share of sales followed by Samsung Galaxy M13 and Xiaomi Redmi A1 with 3% sales share each.
This is the first time an iPhone has topped the sales list in the Indian market which is cost-conscious and is dominated by budget phone choices. To recall, five best-selling smartphones for the same quarter last year were Realme C11, Oppo A54, Galaxy M12, Redmi Note 10s, and Redmi 9A. All of them fall under the ₹15,000 price category.
