basic mobile phones from the 2000s are among the nostalgic devices experiencing a revival.
As the pioneer in the smartphone arena, one might think that one of Apple’s iPhone versions would rank as the best-selling mobile device ever, but that isn’t factual. The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus stand as the top-selling smartphones with 224 million units sold, their much-anticipated larger displays playing a significant role in their success. Yet, when it comes to overall cellphone sales, these devices rank third.
The first two positions are held by Nokia devices, specifically the Nokia 1100 (250 million) and Nokia 1110 (248 million). This might seem unexpected, but there are quite straightforward explanations for Nokia’s leadership in this category, and they illustrate why this record is unlikely to be surpassed in the near future.
