Apple will dethrone Samsung thanks to the boost that the iPhone X will give it

Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), to dethrone Samsung as the world's largest smartphone maker in the fourth quarter of this year 2017. The person responsible for such a feat is none other than its latest launch in mobile telephony, since thanks to the strong demand that the brand new iPhone X is causing, according to the Taiwanese market research firm TrendForce, Apple is going to skyrocket its numbers.

TrendForce estimates that Apple will agglutinate a 19.1 percent market share in the last quarter of the year, the one that covers the most important shopping period of the year, Christmas. This share of the Cupertino giant would be slightly higher than Samsung's estimated market share of 18.2 percent. Chinese suppliers Huawei, OPPO and Xiaomi are expected to complete the top five positions in the ranking by the end of the year.

The feat would be impressive, given that Samsung sells a much larger variety of smartphones than Apple puts on the market. The Korean manufacturer puts more than a dozen different smartphone models in Liz, including $ 200, a price much lower than the average Apple devices handle. For its part, Apple mainly caters to the high-end market  of mobile telephony. The cheapest model from Tim Cook's company is the iPhone SE, which goes out to the public for a very affordable amount: $ 349.

The first consequence of the strong demand for the iPhone X is that it se expects Samsung to reduce production of its high-end models slightly in the fourth quarter as the brand is seeing how its smartphone sales are limited by strong demand for the latest Apple iPhone devices. TrendForce estimates that Samsung's total fourth-quarter volume will hit 77 million units, a 5% drop from the third quarter.

The fourth quarter has always been Apple's strongest for a host of reasons. On the one hand, it is the period immediately following the launch of new devices —which is usually at the beginning of autumn in September— which usually allows it to outperform Samsung in this quarter of the year, as happened in 2016. For On the other hand, the most recent Samsung models, the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8 +, were launched last April, so it is most likely that the sales momentum of these devices will begin to diminish as time goes by. and the appearance of novelties in the competition. In addition, at Christmas time, consumers tend to look for the latest market news, so they are likely to choose rather than for a device released a couple of months ago than one that was released at the beginning of the year.

On top of all this, market research firm Canalys estimates that the iPhone 8 Plus outperformed the iPhone 8 during the last quarter, with shipments of 6.3 million units and 5.4 million units respectively. Canalys revealed that the iPhone 8 Plus is the first larger iPhone to surpass its smaller 4.7-inch brother in a single quarter, something that had never happened and that Apple was eagerly awaiting as it was one of its goals in the planned sales strategy. Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), does not disclose model-by-model iPhone salesBut Tim Cook said the iPhone 8 Plus "had the fastest start of any Plus model," which was "a bit surprising" for the company.

When it comes to iPhone X sales, Apple's guidance of 84-87 billion revenue for the holiday quarter suggests that demand for the device will be significant. Manzana should easily beat your all-time income record in a single quarter, which so far reaches 78,4 billion dollars, achieved in the fourth quarter of 2016.
