According to the majority of people surveyed, the record for selling mobile phones belongs to Apple, but this is not at all the case. As it turned out, the absolute leader in this ranking is the push-button model Nokia 1100.
Main theses:
- This phone was ideal for emerging markets (India, Africa, etc.).
- It is unlikely that any modern smartphone will be able to surpass the records of the Nokia 1100 and 1110.
The push-button phone surpassed all its competitors
As BGR notes, the Nokia 1100 burst onto the market back in 2003 and within a few years became a real international hit.
Its key characteristics — ease of use, reliability, and budget price — allowed it to quickly bypass all possible competitors.
The total circulation of the Nokia 1100 reached a record 250 million copies.
Interestingly, the second place in this ranking was taken by the Nokia 1110, which is a modified version of the Nokia 1100.
This model was chosen as the mobile device by 248 million people. The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus smartphones were in third place in the ranking, with a total of 224 million of these devices sold.
