Strong iPhone 17 Sales to Help Apple Surpass Samsung as Global Leader in Smartphone Shipments: Report
Apple is poised to top the list of best-selling smartphones in the global markets in 2025, according to a report by a market research firm. The Cupertino-based tech giant is estimated to have a 19.4 percent market share, overtaking Samsung as the global leader in terms of smartphone shipments. The China-based original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), meanwhile, may have mixed fortunes, with a weakened domestic market, supply-chain issues, and increasing competition throttling their growth.
