Apple managed to beat Samsung for the top spot as it witnessed strong sales despite supply chain issues.
Apple garnered the top spot in the global smartphone market in Q4 2021 and accounted for 22 per cent of worldwide smartphone shipments, according to a report by Canalys. The company managed to beat Samsung for the top spot as it witnessed strong sales despite supply chain issues. Other smartphone brands that managed to maintain their position on the list are Xiaomi, Oppo and Vivo.
The strong sales were mostly driven by the new iPhone 13 series, which Apple didn’t expect would interest customers after the company delayed the sales of the devices. “Apple saw unprecedented iPhone performance in Mainland China, with aggressive pricing for its flagship devices keeping the value proposition strong,” the report states.
