The results for this year’s MKBHD Smartphone Awards have just been announced, with Apple securing four honors across ten categories—one of which is somewhat controversial. Here are the specifics.
Three smartphone models earned four separate distinctions. Although some may find MKBHD’s annual awards process contentious or frustrating, these awards provide a valuable insight into the current landscape of the smartphone industry, which appears increasingly uniform.
While the spotlight often shines on the winners, MKBHD also offers thoughtful commentary on the runners-up and the reasons behind his choices. These insights often shed more light on the strengths and weaknesses of the devices than the awards themselves, making his videos well worth viewing beyond just the winners.
His 2025 Smartphone Awards video is particularly insightful, providing a broader perspective on market trends, including future directions for foldable phones and other innovations.
If you’re eager for quick highlights, without delving into all the details or competitors, Apple claimed four awards this year. Marques Browlee highlighted the iPhone 17 as the top overall device, noting that it “matured into the most complete and reasonably priced” option, especially after introducing a 120 Hz display along with significant improvements in processor and camera technology.
For a comprehensive understanding of the market and future predictions, watching the full video is highly recommended.
