Apple overtook Samsung to become the world’s leading smartphone brand amid record sales of iPhone smartphones. The company showed a huge jump in the last quarter of last year, while Huawei’s position weakened greatly.
According to Counterpoint Research, iPhone shipments increased 22% in the previous quarter. The surge is driven by the release of the iPhone 12 lineup, which supports fifth-generation networks. Also, sales of previous models do not fall, the demand for which is stable after the price decline.
The company has shipped 90 million smartphones and has more than 23% market share. Analysts note that Apple has strengthened its position in the premium segment of smartphones in China. According to Apple CEO Tim Cook, two of the top three selling premium smartphones in China are from Apple.
The second place in the quarter was taken by Samsung, which received about 19% of the market. The third place went to Xiaomi, followed by Oppo and Vivo, which took the fourth and fifth places, respectively. Huawei dropped to 6th place.
If we consider the results for the year, then Samsung is in the lead, Apple is in second, Huawei is in third, followed by Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo and Realme. The latter was the fastest growing brand in the past year.
Counterpoint Research’s data is broadly consistent with estimates by another analytical company, IDC, which we have already published.
A Chinese modder who runs the Fix Apple Twitter channel posted photos and videoshowing the iPhone 14 Pro Max with its side-curved waterfall screen.
The engineer confirmed that in order to create such a modified iPhone 14 Pro Max, he had to replace the middle frame of the smartphone and install a new display. At the same time, the touch screen retained its performance, but it is still unknown how Dynamic Island works and whether the Face ID module has retained its performance.
He also added that he is ready to make such a modification on request, but the price for such a procedure is not advertised. It is also unknown how much time is spent on such a rework.
The person who runs the Apple fix channel claims to have worked as an engineer at Apple and Huawei. On his page, there are many photos and videos showing the insides of the iPhone 14 Pro Max, as well as upgrading the smartphone to install two SIM cards.
