| 0:00.0 | Welcome to 95 Mac Daily for Wednesday, May 6th, 2026. |
| 0:06.8 | I'm your host, Chance Miller. |
| 0:09.0 | We are sponsored this week by Bitwarden. |
| 0:12.3 | Leading off today, a new Counterpoint Research Report shows that the iPhone 17 overtook the iPhone 17 Pro Max and became the world's best-selling smartphone during the first quarter of 2026. |
| 0:24.6 | Last month's global top-10 best-selling smartphones ranked the iPhone 17 Pro Max at the top for Q4, accounting for 5% of global sales, |
| 0:34.9 | followed by the iPhone 17, then the iPhone 17 Pro, and the iPhone 16. |
| 0:40.2 | New preliminary data for the first quarter, however, changes that top ranking. |
| 0:45.5 | The iPhone 17 is now reportedly the best-selling smartphone with a 6% share of global |
| 0:51.2 | smartphone sales, followed by the iPhone 17 Pro Max in second and the iPhone |
| 0:56.2 | 17 Pro in third. The top 10 continues with the Samsung Galaxy A074G and A175G, followed by the iPhone |
| 1:07.0 | 16, then several other Samsung models. While Counterpoint doesn't disclose the sales share |
| 1:13.3 | for devices beyond the iPhone 176%, it is notable how the top three stand well above the |
| 1:19.6 | others in the list. The top 10 smartphones in total contributed to 25% of global unit sales, which Counterpoint says is the highest |
| 1:30.0 | concentration ever for the first quarter. And finally, Counterpoint noted that despite |
| 1:35.1 | Samsung's flagship Galaxy S-26 Ultra, narrowly missing the top 10, the device is seeing |
| 1:42.0 | stronger initial sales in the Galaxy S S25 Ultra, thanks to features like |
| 1:46.8 | its privacy display and new AI capabilities. Next up the day, iOS 27 will give users a new way |
| 1:54.3 | to interact with third-party AI platforms. This will let iPhone users choose for multiple different |
| 2:00.2 | third-party models from companies |
| 2:01.7 | like Google and Anthropic to manage Apple intelligence features and interact with Siri. |
| 2:08.5 | According to Bloomberg, Apple is referring to this new capabilities as extensions as part of iOS 27. |
| 2:14.8 | In test versions of the software, Apple explains that extensions allow you to access generative AI capabilities from installed apps on demand through Apple intelligence features like Siri, writing tools, image playground, and more. |
