The fastest-selling smartphone of all time is the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, which sold over 10 million units in the first three days of its release in September 2014.
This record-breaking launch was driven by several factors:
- High demand: The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus offered significant upgrades over previous models, including larger screens, improved cameras, and faster processors.
- Extensive marketing: Apple launched a massive marketing campaign to generate excitement and anticipation for the new phones.
- Strong brand loyalty: Apple has a loyal customer base that eagerly awaits new releases.
- Wide availability: Apple made the phones available in a large number of countries and retail outlets.
While the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus hold the current record, other smartphones have also achieved impressive sales numbers in their initial release. For example, the Samsung Galaxy S7 sold over 10 million units in its first week of release in 2016.
The competition for the fastest-selling smartphone title is ongoing, and new models are constantly released with the goal of breaking previous records.
