 According to IDC's Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker, Apple surpassed Samsung for the first time ever to ship the most smartphones in a year. A second research firm, Canalys, likewise projects Apple to be the number one company for the entire year 2023, despite IDC's warning that its data is preliminary and liable to change. According to IDC, Apple shipped 234.6 million mobile devices overall, while Samsung shipped 226.6 million. With 145.9, 103.1, and 94.9 million smartphones supplied, respectively, Xiaomi, Oppo, and Transsion complete the top five.





According to IDC, Samsung last missed the top spot on the annual board in 2010, which was thirteen years ago. Apple didn't even make the top five lists back then. As an alternative, the top five positions were held by Nokia, Samsung, LG Electronics, ZTE, and Research in Motion, the company that makes BlackBerry smartphones. This list of firms should serve as ample proof that 13 years is a long time in the smartphone industry.

Research director Nabila Popal of IDC's Worldwide Tracker team stated, "Not only is Apple the only player in the Top 3 to show positive growth annually, but it also bags the number 1 spot annually for the first time ever." "The growing trend of premium devices, which now account for over 20% of the market and are driven by aggressive trade-in offers and interest-free financing plans, is largely responsible for Apple's continued success and resilience."





While IDC acknowledges that Apple was a major factor in Samsung's fall from grace, the business also faced fierce rivalry from other Android makers, including Google, Huawei, OnePlus, Honor, and Honor. Not only is Samsung facing competition from these firms, but Canalys also points out that Apple's expansion into the Chinese market may face obstacles due to Huawei's "growing strength." According to allegations that surfaced last year, Huawei was able to get over US sanctions and include a cutting-edge 7nm processor from Chinese chipmaker Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. (SMIC) into its 5G-capable Mate 60 Pro smartphone.




The market appears to be rebounding from its previous downturn, despite the fact that worldwide smartphone shipments fell 3.2% in 2023 compared to 2022. Shipments increased 8. percent in the fourth quarter compared to the previous seven quarters of losses, according to Canalys and IDC's respective reports.
