No this is the whole world. The reason why iPhones are higher is because only Apple makes them, and they only release 3-4 a year. Meanwhile every other company uses Android, which is why Android is the most popular operating system, however iPhones are the most popular phones themselves

The good old days when mobile phones weighed under 100 grams. The Nokia 3310 and 1100 were THE most popular and widespread phones, as for as I remember. I always thought that the Moto Razr was popular. I had one in the 2000's, and I loved it. It would just fit in your pocket.
You forgot the Motorola Micro TAC 650e. 1995. Very popular. i still got one...
what market is this?
i wish if I could go back to the beginning ... good old days ❤
After so many years Nokia still holds the crown in the category of the most sold phone model
Just imagine if Nokia switched to Android 😮
However, Nokia 8310 with colorful designs and calming light blue lights.. I miss it.. ; )
Now the battle is between Samsung and iphone
Nokia was symbol revolution in communication..it reigned more than a decades..Two decades old Nokia phones are always to be remembered forever...Though it vanished from market I have great reverence for them.They connects me emotionally to my past youthful days..
Just goes to show how Nokia lost it's position as the leading mobile manufacturer by rejection modernity as how we saw the first nokia smartphones dominating the iphones still. Same has happened with Toyota in response to Tesla and BYDs of the world. Seems japan has a hard time accepting newer technologies not originating in japan.

It's for the whole world . The stats are for sales in a year . Don't forget that , It's not the majority of people who change their phone every year. Then you have those who have no need for a phone at all , ie the very young and the very elderly . Add in some other factors then you look at the population of the world. I think a peak of 250 000 000 sales in a year is for the world.

If you would have handed me a modern flagship smartphone back in the early to mid 90`s, I would have thought it was alien technology. They have become much more advanced than i ever could have imagined
