Strategy Analytics Pegs iPhone 6s as World’s Top-Selling Smartphone in Q2

Apple shipped 14.2 million units of the iPhone 6s in Q2, compared with only 8.3 million units shipped of Samsung’s Galaxy S7 Edge, making the 6s the world’s top-selling smartphone model in the quarter, Strategy Analytics said in a Tuesday report. Overall global smartphone shipments in Q2 grew only 1 percent to 341.5 million units, said the research firm. “Smartphone [sales] growth is sluggish at the moment due to ongoing economic volatility worldwide, high ownership penetration in most major countries, and a lack of new innovation from device manufacturers.”
