The Apple Steamroller Continues

Triple Crown Victory: According to Counterpoint Research, the iPhone 16 was the best-selling phone worldwide between April and June, followed closely by the iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPhone 16 Pro. This marks Apple’s continued dominance in the premium segment.

Market Share Battle: Despite Apple’s individual model success, Samsung is only 18 percent behind Apple in US market share as of Q2 2025, dramatically closing the 33 percent gap from Q2 2024.

Galaxy A16 5G: The Budget Champion

Android’s Best: The Galaxy A16 5G was the highest-selling Android device of the quarter, ranking fourth overall, beating every flagship Android phone including Galaxy S25 Ultra, Pixel 9, and OnePlus 12.

Value Proposition: Selling for just $199, it’s one of the best budget Android phones you can buy right now with practical features that resonate with cost-conscious consumers worldwide.

Global Appeal: The A16 5G saw 17% growth from last year’s A15, with a third of its global sales coming from the U.S., proving budget phones can compete internationally.

Samsung’s Strategic Win

Budget Portfolio Dominance: The Galaxy A16 5G, A06 4G, and A16 4G secured 4th, 5th, and 7th places, respectively, in the global top 10 best-selling smartphones for Q2 2025.

Market Reality Check: While Apple owns premium sales, Samsung’s second-quarter improvement hinged on its more affordable Galaxy A series, like the Galaxy A36, showing that volume sales come from budget segments.

Budget Phone Revival: The A16 5G’s success proves consumers prioritize value over flagship features, especially during economic uncertainty.

The Verdict

Apple maintains its premium stranglehold with iPhone 16 series dominance, but Samsung’s Galaxy A16 5G proves that smart budget positioning can still win Android market share.

The real story? While tech enthusiasts obsess over flagship battles, the masses vote with their wallets for practical, affordable phones that simply work.
