Apple's Global Smartphone Share Slips as Chinese Rivals Surge

Quick Summary:

Apple's global smartphone market share declined to 18% in 2024, down from 19% the previous year, while Chinese manufacturers expanded their presence in the global market, according to new data from Counterpoint Research.

"Apple's iPhone 16 series was met with a mixed response, partly due to a lack of availability of Apple Intelligence at launch," noted Counterpoint research director Tarun Pathak.

The absence of Apple Intelligence features, particularly in China, appears to have impacted iPhone 16 sales.
