After expecting a little too much from the iPhone XR, many analysts were quick to deem Apple’s lower-cost 2018 handset a flop. But when all is said and done, the $749 and up device has impressively managed to resist an onslaught of similarly priced Android flagships with arguably superior specs, topping several best-selling lists since its late October 2018 release.
The iPhone XR was found to dominate the weak but oh-so-important US market back in January, retaining its leading position throughout the quarter and then extending its supremacy until the end of Q2. Meanwhile, Apple pulled off another overall domestic win against Samsung in the January – March 2019 timeframe, despite the early success of the Galaxy S10 family.
