β€‹β€‹πŸ“± Apple Regains the Global Best Selling Smartphone Spot
With the iPhone 8

According to Counterpoint’s Market Pulse, #Apple regained the top spot in the global best selling #smartphone list with the #iPhone 8. Seems like strong promotions (β€œHow to shoot on iPhone”) running up to the FIFA World Cup helped the tech giant trigger buyer interest in Europe and other markets. iPhone 8 sales were steady in the US postpaid channels.

β€‹β€‹πŸ“± Smartphone Market Share

Seven months ago, on the verge of Samsung’s Galaxy S9 reveal at MWC, the Korean electronics giant still trailed Apple’s lead in the U.S. #smartphone market (among adults, ages 18+), owning 33% of the smartphone market compared to Apple’s 45% share.

Today, although Apple and Samsung are still the undisputed leaders in the smartphone market, the overall number of phones that each manufacturer currently has on the market has dropped.

Currently on the U.S. smartphone market:
- #Apple has 80.4 million (46%)
- #Samsung has 60.1 million (34%)
- #LG has 20.5 million (12%)

β€‹β€‹πŸ“· How the Camera Industry was Hit by Smartphones

Over the past few years, #smartphone cameras have improved significantly. So much so in fact, that many people no longer see the need to carry or buy a dedicated camera. While professionals and photo enthusiasts will always get better results using high-end cameras and lenses, modern #smartphones take pictures that are easily sufficient for the demands of the average consumer.

To the camera and photo equipment industry, the rise of smartphone photography has had devastating effects. According to CIPA, a Japan-based industry group with members such as #Olympus, #Canon and #Nikon, worldwide camera shipments dropped nearly 80 percent between 2010 and 2017.
