According to data from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.idc.com\/getdoc.jsp?containerId=prUS51776424\" title=\"\">International Data Corporation (IDC,<\/a>) Apple sold 234.6 million iPhones. This surpasses Samsung&#8217;s 226.6 million units. Apple&#8217;s market share stands at 20.1 percent, while Samsung&#8217;s is at 19.4 percent. This translates to 11.6 percent growth for Apple in Q4 2023, and 10.9 percent decline for Samsung.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Industry analysts say Apple&#8217;s remarkable rise to this success is because of premium devices like the iPhone. Budget-friendly rivals like Xiaomi and Transsion have been chipping away at Samsung&#8217;s market share. These brands are among the top five, with market shares of 12.5 percent for Xiaomi, Transsion (TECNO, Infinix Itel) at 8.6 percent, and vivo at 7.4 percent.\u00a0<br><br>Nabila Popal, research director with IDC&#8217;s Worldwide Tracker team, shares, &#8220;Apple&#8217;s ongoing success and resilience is in large part due to the increasing trend of premium devices, which now represent over 20% of the market, fueled by aggressive trade-in offers and interest-free financing plans.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2023, the market dipped slightly by 3.2 percent in smartphone shipments, totaling 1.17 billion units in 2023. Despite this, the industry is on a path to recovery, seeing a strong comeback this 2024. New Samsung models are also set to launch soon, so the battle may not be over yet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Growth in the second half of the year has cemented the expected recovery for 2024,&#8221; the IDC said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a consumer, you&#8217;re sure to expect even more choices from Apple and Android brands. And these come in varying features and price ranges for every preference. It&#8217;s an exciting year ahead for more tech and better deals, for sure!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Source: Agence France-Presse)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a twelve-year reign, Apple&#8217;s iPhone dethrones Samsung as the world&#8217;s leading smartphone.
