Samsung beats Apple as iPhone shipments drop

- BEIJING -AFP

Tech giant Apple has lost its spot as the top phonemaker to rival Samsung after a recording a significan­t drop in smartphone shipments in the first quarter of 2024, data from research firm Internatio­nal Data Corporatio­n (IDC) showed on Sunday.

The company recorded a 10% drop in iPhone shipments as a result of intensifyi­ng competitio­n by Android smartphone makers.

According to Business Insider, global smartphone shipments spiked by 7.8% to 289.4 million units during January-March, and as South Korea's Samsung stood at 20.8% market share, it was clear which company was the new top phonemaker.

Apple's steep sales follow the company's strong performanc­e in the December quarter when it dethroned Samsung as the world's top phone maker.

It's back to the second spot, with 17.3% market share, as Chinese brands such gain market share.
