It is very you've probably read that Apple is losing its market position and that the iPhone no longer works as it should. However, the reality is that there are quite tabloid headlines who interpret the data as they please. The table that you see just above these lines is the one that analyzes the sales data of the main mobile manufacturers in the world. In addition, it offers you the comparisons between 2015 and 2014 and between the last quarters of each year. And nowhere is it seen that Apple has plummeted as some summarize. Rather the complete opposite.
Samsung remains at the top of the list and continues to be the brand that sells the most mobile phones around the world. This year they have reached 319,7 million, compared to just over 317 in 2014. For its part, Apple stayed at 192,7 million in 2014 and jumped to 231,5 million units in 2015. Where is it? is the fall? The truth is that it is difficult to understand, although if we take into account that more brands have entered the sector with force and that this subtracts part of the total pie, then in percentage it can be said that Apple lost its part, although only because there are more users and more brands. But in real terms, it continues to grow year by year.
Precisely within those brands that have just made a strong debut on the market Huawei should be highlighted. China has gone from selling 74,1 million smartphones in 2014 to a whopping 107,1 million in 2015 and has already positioned itself as the third manufacturer in terms of sales volume. For its part, Xiaomi shows its weakness because it loses the bronze medal. Even so, it continues to grow, although in a more moderate way, going from 61,1 million in 2014 to 72 million in all of 2015.
What do you think of the data? Sometimes you have to look for them to realize headlines too flashy and unrealistic like those of some newspapers that have been present this week in the information on technology.
More than 200 will be
I don't know, but I get the impression that Cristina is one of those who copies and pastes a story and doesn't bother to read it. I say it because whenever it makes a publication, there are errors of this type… (more than 300 million iPhones sold) I see that more than 300 are Samsung…. anyway….
Hello, there was indeed an error in the title that we have already corrected. Forgive the misprint as the rest of the article was well clarified. All the best!
