New estimates report that global smartphone sales have declined for the fifth straight quarter, with the iPhone 14 Pro not enough to keep Apple on top.
At its peak selling period of the holiday quarter 2022, the iPhone had been the world’s best-selling smartphone with 25% of the market — despite production supply issues. This came in the market’s fourth quarter of decline, but now the fifth has seen Apple lose the top spot to Samsung.
According to Canalys, the first calendar quarter of 2023 saw a 12% year-on-year drop for the whole industry, and only Samsung saw quarter-on-quarter growth.
