In 2015’s gadget dance, Germany and Brazil swiped the smartphone crown, selling 484M and 488M units—leaving the U.S. (111M) in their dust. But America still two-stepped, balancing 124M laptops. Meanwhile, South Korea and Canada waltzed into laptop royalty, shipping 116M and 148M, while India’s smartphone frenzy (324M) hinted at its future tech takeover. France nibbled laptops like a croissant (35M), and Japan, ever-practical, split its moves (322M phones, 57M laptops). The UK? Busy sipping tea with 444M phones and 102M laptops.
