"Apple Surpasses Samsung to Become Top Global Smartphone Vendor in 2023"
Apple surpassed Samsung in global smartphone shipments for the first time, with IDC reporting 234.6 million Apple smartphones shipped versus 226.6 million for Samsung in 2023. This marks the first time in 13 years that Samsung hasn't topped the annual board. Apple's success is attributed to the increasing trend of premium devices and aggressive trade-in offers. Despite challenges from other Android manufacturers, the smartphone market showed signs of recovery with overall shipments growing in the fourth quarter after seven straight quarters of declines.
