Apple grows less in the international smartphone market than its competitors. This is the conclusion reached by the IDC study after analyzing the numbers of iPhones marketed in 2013 by Apple. Its main competitor at an international level, Samsung continues to lead and, what's more, has grown more significantly than the Californian company. Of all the manufacturers included in this study, Apple is one of the slowest growing each year. We will prove this with figures.
In 2013, Apple marketed 153,4 million iPhones worldwide, a higher figure compared to the sales it obtained in 2012: 135,9 million terminals sold internationally. For its part, Samsung achieved a more significant increase and strengthened its position in the market by selling 313,9 billion smartphones, compared to the 219,7 million it sold the previous year. This represents a 43% growth for Samsung.
These results would be producing changes in Apple's strategies for its iPhone. Thats why he iPhone 6 could be presented in two different models with different screen formats. Apple's growth in emerging countries such as China and Russia will also help drive the company's sales over the next twelve months. Apple has just closed one of its most significant deals with China Mobile, one of the world's largest carriers, so this deal will also bring you benefits.
The results of next year's IDC study will undoubtedly be interesting. Will Apple manage to grow thanks to its new strategies planned for this 2014 and that will change the rules of the game again?

Bad article! Bad title! They should emphasize that Samsung sells blenders, irons, dryers, washing machines, dvd, tv, computer parts, computers, airs, radios, stereos, knives, mops…. Infinite number of products! Apple sells airs, tv, washing machines, refrigerators, microwaves etc ... Very bad article
A bit of consistency. You have to read. We are talking about the smartphone market and the results of a study, not our own conclusions.
The only detail is, that Samsung sells cell phones at very cheap to expensive prices, on the other hand Apple sells from expensive to very expensive so the numbers to me in particular make me silly, unless those numbers reflect only the high-end sale of each company (5s apple vs s4 samsung)
Ps yes, if it is Samsung phones, it sells phones from 10 dollars, up to its s4, apple only high-end! There are more than 200 different phones in the Samsung market, Apple only sells 4 phone models, and that is why the iPhone 4 is already uncoated in most countries!
It also influences that when the operator talks to you for a "Promotion" they always mention a Samsung and if you ask about an iPhone they tell you that it is more expensive and they emphasize again with the Samsung, just as they will not sell more if at the Most show them those first and then they keep them and those who are going to buy a mobile because they know what they want go for the iPhone or another mobile either Samsung or WP, but they are already focused on it, while a normal person goes for the 'best deal' you can find
