Apple is about to snatch the global leadership in smartphone shipments from Samsung, a milestone that hasn't happened since 2010. According to Counterpoint Research, iPhone shipments will grow by 10% this year, to about 243 million units, giving the bitten apple company a 19.4% share, slightly above the 18.7% of the South Korean Samsung.
The boost comes from the new cycle of renewal and the success of the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro in orange, and the debut of the iPhone Air. In the U.S., initial sales rose 12%, and in China, 18%.
