■ Comment from Nicosuma Representative

In the May 2026 sales ranking, the iPhone SE (3rd generation) (64GB) ranked first for the 12th consecutive month.

The iPhone SE (3rd generation) 128GB model is also popular, and the total by model (all capacities combined) has been ranked first for 14 consecutive months since April 2025.

The iPhone 14 (128GB), which performed well in the previous month, further improved its ranking to reach a record high of 2nd place.

Additionally, the iPhone 13 mini (128GB), which was outside the ranking last time, significantly improved its position to rank 7th.

The average selling price of the iPhone 13 mini (128GB) reached an all-time low of approximately 40,000 yen, and the price gap with its predecessor, the iPhone 12 mini (128GB), narrowed to less than 10,000 yen, increasing its perceived value.

In the purchase ranking, amid a significant increase in transaction volume, the iPhone SE (2nd generation) (64GB) ranked first for the 9th consecutive month.

While the iPhone 12 series continues to feature prominently from the previous month, relatively newer models such as the iPhone SE (3rd generation) and iPhone 13 are rising in the total by model ranking.

Nicosuma will continue to strive to enhance its services from both sales and purchase perspectives to flexibly meet customer needs.
