โฃContrary to popular belief and what media might suggest, the #smartphone market is about much more than just #Apple and #Samsung.

#Samsung may still lead the #smartphone market in unit sales, but in terms of revenue, #Apple's #iPhone alone beats Samsungโ€™s entire mobile communications unit by more than 70%!

๐Ÿš€ @PerspectiveIX
The Chinese๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ #smartphone market grew 4% in Q1 2017 & the growth in unit shipments was mainly fueled by domestic players: #Oppo, #vivo and #Huawei; leaving #Apple & #Samsung behind!

๐Ÿš€ @PerspectiveIX
โ€‹โ€‹๐Ÿ“ฑ #Samsung & #Apple Tied for Mobile Brand Consideration

The desire for a Samsung is greatest in its home country, South Korea, with almost 8 in 10 Smartphone Owners selecting it as a future choice. The want for an iPhone, however, peaks in the Middle East, where 60% of this audience in the UAE and Saudi Arabia are keen to choose this handset.

โ€‹โ€‹While the #iPhone maker beat #Samsung narrowly in terms of unit shipments, #Appleโ€™s lead is much more impressive when looking at revenues.

According to a new analysis by Strategy Analytics, Apple raked in an impressive 51% of global #smartphone revenues in the holiday quarter (Q4 2017), beating second-placed Samsung (15.7%) by a mile.

โ€‹โ€‹โŒš๏ธ Apple vs Samsung: The Smart Watch Edition

Based on IDC estimates, #Samsung has a lot of ground to make up if it wants to challenge #Appleโ€™s dominant position in the #smartwatch market. In 2017, the Cupertino-based company shipped 17.7 million watches compared to Samsungโ€™s 3.6 million.

โ€‹โ€‹๐Ÿ“ฑ Smartphone Market Share

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

โŒš๏ธ Smartwatch Market 2Q21

The global #smartwatch market grew 27% YoY in Q2, per Counterpoint Research. Obviously, #Apple remains on top, but its market share did slip from 30.1% in Q2 2020 to 28% today.

Meanwhile, #Samsung saw its slice of the pie expand from 6.8% to 7.6%โ€”an upward trend that could continue thanks to its newly unveiled #GalaxyWatch 4, made in partnership with #Google.
