The component crisis remains a major headache for electronic device manufacturers. In terms of smartphones, the problems are many and there has been a lack of 4G, 5G chips and even screens. In fact, things are not easy. All of this is shaking the market and causing changes in the TOP 3 manufacturers. After a difficult time especially during the confinement, the economy finally seems to be moving. This is especially true for the second half of the year. But how does Apple beat Samsung and take first place?
Blasting! Apple beats Samsung and regains first place!
Apple, according to TrendForce, estimates that the fourth largest player during the second quarter with a share of 13.7%, has moved into second place. This was also due to the iPhone 13. The apple giant conquered 16% of the market in the third quarter and in the fourth the effect will be even more devastating. It’s just that Apple will overtake Samsung!
I remember that Samsung had 21.2% of the market in the third quarter and should drop to 19.4% in the fourth. Apple will go from 16 to 23.2%.
Times look good for Apple. This company will launch (apparently) the third generation iPhone SE in the first quarter of 2022 and this will help it gain ground in the competitive 5G mid-range market.
Going back to 2021, Oppo, Xiaomi and Vivo are third, fourth and fifth respectively.
However, despite Honor still not being what we can consider a top player, it was entitled to an honorable mention in the report. This is because it is doing very well as an independent brand and should soon reach the eighth place in terms of production.
It is something that few would have ventured to predict but it is confirmation that the iPhone 13 it is perhaps one of the best smartphones in recent times. It remains for us now to wait to see what will happen in the first quarter of 2021. In any case, with the arrival of the iPhone SE, times may remain favorable for Apple.
