Good news for Apple (AAPL -2.19%) investors: The iPhone 5s is top dog. Canaccord Genuity has put out a research note that Apple's flagship phone was the top-selling smartphone model across all four domestic wireless carriers -- for three months straight. That's a strong showing despite the supply constraints that Apple had been facing early on.
On the international front, Counterpoint Research has named the iPhone 5s the top-selling smartphone globally. Furthermore, Counterpoint's data shows that Apple's market share in China put up a healthy jump in October. Apple rose to become the No. 3 vendor, up from the No. 6 spot the prior month. With the China Mobile deal likely imminent, Counterpoint sees Apple possibly rising further to grab the No. 1 spot in the largest smartphone market in the world.
