Apple's Big Satellite Tech Push For iPhone Has Slowed Down: Here's Why
Apple launched the satellite-based SOS message feature with Globalstar as the operator on the iPhone 14 model in the US. The company has since then offered the premium feature for free with the latest iPhone 16 models in the region. But it seems Apple's ambitions to take the satellite feature to other products and regions have reportedly taken a huge hit. And reports claim all this is because Apple said no to Elon Musk's company for a similar deal back in 2022 and from there, these plans had to take a backseat for varying reasons.

Apple and Samsung dominated the top-ten best-selling phones list according to the latest Counterpoint Research report. The two brands accounted for nine out of the top ten best-sellers, with Xiaomi being the only other brand featured in the rankings. The iPhone 16 was the best-selling device for the first three months of the year, marking a return for the baseline iPhone model for the first time since 2023. The device fared particularly well across the Middle East and Africa region as well as Japan, where it recorded its highest growth. The 16 Pro Max came in second, followed by the 16 Pro in third place. The 16 Pro series models accounted for nearly half of Apple's total iPhone sales during the Q1 period. The iPhone 15 slots in fourth place, followed by Samsung's best-selling device – the Galaxy A16 5G. Going further down the list, the Galaxy A06 is at the sixth spot, followed by the Galaxy S25 Ultra in seventh as the only premium segment device from the brand in the top ten.

Apple's iPhone 16 Still Leads the Smartphone Pack in New 2025 Sales Data
You might have a sense that Apple's iPhone is one of the most successful smartphones on the market even without looking into the specifics, but now it's official: the iPhone 16 is the bestselling smartphone of the year so far. This new data comes from market analysis firm, Counterpoint Research, and its Global Handset Model Sales Tracker. According to the findings, for the first quarter of 2025 -- January through March -- the base model iPhone 16 was the top-selling smartphone globally. Apple maintained a strong grip on the rest of the firm's top 10 list, with the iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 16 Pro and previous-generation base model iPhone 15 taking up the second, third and fourth slots, respectively. They were trailed by the iPhone 16 Plus, which took tenth place. Notably, Counterpoint highlighted that this quarter saw the current base model iPhone return to the top spot. In recent years, including the first quarter of 2024, the high-end Pro Max variant took first place. The firm attributed this in part to issues in China, where the government has subsidized cheaper phone models and where Huawei's premium offerings have offered stiff competition. A representative for Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Elsewhere on the list, Samsung was right on Apple's heels last quarter, with the Galaxy A16 5G, Galaxy A06, Galaxy A25 Ultra and Galaxy A55 5G taking the fifth, sixth, seventh and ninth spots, respectively. Rounding out the list was Chinese manufacturer Xaomi's Redmi 14C 4G, an extremely budget-friendly offering that you can snag at most US retailers for less than $150.

Future iPhone could match this incredible Galaxy S25 Ultra feature — here's what we know
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Apple's iPhones could soon feature a camera that matches even the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. This leak comes from known source Digital Chat Station on Weibo, claiming that Apple is testing 200 MP cameras. The post doesn't contain much information about which model this is for, but if true, it could be an indication that Apple's rumored move from Sony sensors to Samsung has gone through. If this is the case, then it means that the iPhone 18 could feature a new '3-layer stacked' camera sensor from Samsung. Apple improving its cameras to 200MP would be a pretty major jump, as both the iPhone 15 series and the iPhone 16 series have kept the same 48MP main camera. However, Apple has managed to get the absolute most out of its cameras, with the iPhone 16 Pro Max appearing in our best camera phones list. Not only that, we also saw the device narrowly beating the Galaxy S25 Ultra when we put them through a 200-photo shootout. With that in mind, I'd be curious to see what Apple can do with 200MP. Although it may need such an upgrade to keep up with Samsung, as it is rumored to be working on developing a 500MP camera. It's unlikely that we'll see a 200MP main camera in the iPhone 17 series. However, we have seen several leaks about possible improvements for the phones. Rumors indicate that the iPhone 17 Pro Max model is tipped to get three 48MP cameras. Meanwhile, we don't know much about the rear camera layout for the iPhone 17, which has led many to speculate that the phone will keep the same 48MP main camera and 12MP Ultrawide. With that said, it looks like there could be an upgrade coming for the iPhone 17's front-facing camera. According to a recent leak, Apple could include a 24MP selfie camera for the iPhone 17, which is a marked improvement over the iPhone 16's 12MP selfie camera. There are also indications that Apple could include a camera lens with a variable aperture for the first time on an iPhone. The consensus also seems to be that the iPhone 17 Air will only feature a single 48MP main camera. As it stand we can't confirm the rumor about a 200MP main camera, so it's worth taking it with a grain of salt. However, Digital Chat Station has a pretty good history of accurate predictions, so we'll keep our eyes open. In the meantime, we're only a few weeks from WWDC 2025, where Apple will likely unveil iOS 19 and more. But if you're more focussed on hardware, make sure to check out our iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max hubs for all the latest rumors about all 4 phones.
