With just few hours remaining for year 2017 to come to an end, I'm pleased to show you the top 5 selling tech products as disclosed by a research firm called GBH Insights. As expected, Apple's iPhone outranked others by far, staying at the number one with 233 million units expected to be sold out for the entire year. If you add-together numbers of the most sold products from the other top two(2) to five(5) brands, it still can't beat iPhone.
Second on the list are poducts from Korean OEM—Samsung, precisely the flagship Samsung Galaxy S8 and high-end Galaxy Note 8 with 33 million phones sold. The low-end model of Amazon's smart speaker, the Echo Dot, was third with 24 million units sold for the year. Again, Apple Watch returned to be fourth most purchased tech product of 2017, with 20 million timepieces bought this year. 15 million gamers made Nintendo Switch hybrid console the fifth top selling tech product in 2017.
After topping the chart in 2016 with 211 million iPhones sold, Apple retained same first spot this year, and according to GBH Insights analyst Daniel Ives, the iPhone will successfully defend its crown again next year thanks to a huge number of current iPhone users that will be ready to upgrade in 2018.
To facilitate this, another analyst suggests Apple will cut prices on older iPhone models. "Anything that doesn't have edge-to-edge display will go down in price," Patrick Moorhead of Moorhead Insights says. Even Amazon Echo Dot and the Google Home Mini were also discounted to $29.99 for the holiday shopping season.
