Apple sees growth as smartphone market keeps sliding
While the slowdown in smartphone sales and shipments is not a recent phenomenon, four reports published by Counterpoint Research this week help show just how much memory shortages and rising prices are affecting demand across the globe.
According to a report published yesterday, smartphone shipments in Europe dropped 10% year-over-year in the second quarter, reaching a three-year low.
Even so, Apple gained nine percentage points, matching Samsung at 34% of the shipments share each. Chinese brands Xiaomi, Oppo, and Honor all lost share, ending the quarter at 15%, 4%, and 3%, respectively.
