The year 2023 has been full of surprises with the biggest announcement in technology and Artificial intelligence. While many smartphone brands entered the race to integrate AI into their devices, Apple seems to be a little behind. However, its commitment to the quality and performance of its smartphones ensured it did not have any impact on its iPhone sales as the company dominated the top 7 positions in the list of 10 best-selling smartphones in 2023. In shocking news, Samsung flagship smartphones were nowhere to be found in the top 10 list. Check details here.
According to a Counterpoint Research report, the 10 best-selling smartphones in 2023 list are here and it comes as no surprise that the Apple iPhone models have secured the top positions. However, Samsung flagship smartphones were not present in the list except for some of the budget A-series devices. The 10 best-selling smartphones in 2023 list was topped by iPhone 14 with an expected shipment of 3.9 percent and iPhone 14 Pro Max held the second position. The recently introduced iPhone 15 series also made it to the list where the iPhone 15 Pro Max held the fifth position in just a matter of months.
Additionally, Apple's 2021 launch iPhone 13 also secured the fourth position, showcasing its popularity even after two years of launch.
Samsung acquired three last spots in the top 10 list with the Galaxy A14 5G, A04e, and A14 4G which are the affordable range smartphones by the company.
The report also highlighted that half of the sales of iPhone 14 were seen in the US and China. The Samsung devices sales were seen up in the US and India.
Now that we have entered the new year with new technological advancements in the smartphone industry, it is expected other brands may also break into the top 10 best-selling smartphones list.

Gaming war: Apple retreats in Epic Games feud, allows Fortnite return in European Union
Under pressure from European regulators, Apple took a step back in its feud with Epic Games on Friday, clearing the way for Epic Games to put its own game store on iPhones and iPads in Europe.

Apple Will Let You Uninstall Safari on iPhone, But Not in The US
Apple has been slowly opening up its hardware and software in response to new legislation in the European Union. The iPhone 15's switch to USB Type-C was partially due to new EU laws about phone chargers, and more recently, the company created support for installing third-party app stores for phones in the EU. However, most of the changes are still blocked from working outside of the EU, and now more region-locked features are on the way.

Forgotten Gems: Top Racer Back In Top Gear
If you’ve read the last 10 issues of my Forgotten Gems column, you’ve probably noticed a pattern. I pick a game that may either spark some recognition and you’ll go “oh, yeah – what happened to it?” – or you’ve never heard of the game I’m profiling and you google what year I was born so that you can rest easy that it’s not you, it’s me. Inevitably, the column turns gloomy. An awesome-sounding sequel was planned, but never made. Or, somehow, an entire series of games is no longer accessible to play.
