Apple iPhone 12 and 13 models may make up one-third of all 5G devices shipped globally in 2021.
Apple’s iPhone 12 and upcoming iPhone 13 may soon account for one-third of all 5G smartphone shipments, according to a press release from Counterpoint Research. Global shipments of 5G smartphones are expected to reach 605 million devices in 2021. The popularity of the iPhone 12, combined with the mid-September launch of the iPhone 13, has Apple poised to sell approximately 200 million devices, according to Counterpoint. One reason these units may fly off the shelves, according to Jeff Fieldhack, research director for Counterpoint, is that iPhone users are ready for new devices. As of early 2021, the Apple iPhone 7 was more widely used than the iPhone 12.
