Apple Dominates Global Smartphone Market Despite Industry Slump

Global smartphone shipments are expected to decline by 6% in 2023, reaching the lowest point in a decade, due to economic headwinds in China and declining demand in emerging markets. However, Apple's high-end iPhone sales remain resilient, positioning the company to potentially become the top player in terms of shipments this year. Counterpoint Research suggests that the launch of the iPhone 15 in September could further strengthen Apple's position, particularly in markets like China where there is a growing trend towards premium devices. The reception of the iPhone 15 and Apple's performance in non-core markets will determine if it surpasses Samsung as the number one smartphone maker this year.
