"The iPhone may feel ubiquitous, but Apple has consistently lagged behind rival Samsung in terms of global smartphone market share. Tim Cook's newest iteration, though, is breaking through - and returning Apple to the top of the industry. A new report from Counterpoint Research projects that Apple will be the leading smartphone producer in 2025, marking the first time since 2011 that it has held that title."
"Shipments of iPhones in 2025 are expected to be 10% higher than they were in 2024, Counterpoint senior analyst Yang Wang wrote on LinkedIn about the report, thanks to "strong momentum for the iPhone 17 series." That's more than double the growth Samsung is expected to book this year. "We are tracking double-digit growth for both China and US in October," he wrote about new iPhone shipments."
Apple is projected to become the world's leading smartphone manufacturer in 2025, reaching the top position for the first time since 2011. iPhone shipments in 2025 are expected to be about 10% higher than in 2024, driven by strong momentum for the iPhone 17 series and double-digit growth in markets including China and the US in October. Apple is forecast to sell roughly 243 million phones in 2025 compared with Samsung's projected 235 million. Strong holiday demand could produce the company's best quarter ever, though weakening consumer confidence and economic jitters may curb purchases.
