Galaxy S21 smartphones let Samsung bypass Apple and regain market leadership
At the end of the fourth quarter of last year, Apple managed to take away the leadership in the smartphone market from Samsung, selling a record number of iPhones in three months.
However, this year, the Korean giant launched its flagship devices earlier, and this paid off. Reportedly, by the end of February, Samsung regained its leadership in the market, selling 24 million smartphones against 23 million from Apple. At the same time, Xiaomi closed the top three with about 12 million devices.
Back in January, Samsung held 15.6% of the market versus Apple’s 25.4%, but the release of the flagships changed everything. Among other things, Samsung sales in February grew by 26% year-on-year and were even 12% higher than in February 2019 even before the pandemic.

Still, this is not the reason for the rise in price: the iPhone 14 Pro will receive at least 128 GB of permanent memory, despite the price increase
The network has new data about future models of the iPhone 14 Pro. It is reported that the new items will receive in the minimum configuration only 128 GB of permanent memory, although earlier it was said about a minimum of 256 GB. However, prices will be higher.
Haitong International analyst Jeff Pu suggests that the iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max models will still have the same storage capacity as the iPhone 13 Pro/Pro Max. That is, we are talking about options for 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB and 1 TB.
Apple plans to assemble 91 million iPhone 14s in the second half of 2022, which is more than the iPhone 13 assembly in the same period last year. Then the company was able to collect 84 million pieces.
And Ming-Chi Kuo said that the iPhone 14 Pro models will be more expensive. The iPhone 14 Pro is rumored to be priced at $1,099 and the iPhone 14 Pro Max will cost $1,199, although this has yet to be officially confirmed.
As for the older models of smartphones, they are credited with cutouts instead of “monobrows”, A16 processors and a new purple color. Perhaps the increase in prices will be affected just by the use of a more powerful and expensive processor, as well as RAM.
Apple augmented reality glasses are expected to appear in 2024. Jeff Pu believes that they will appear at the end of 2024.
