Ever since Apple released its 5G-supported iPhone 12 series, the devices have been selling like hotcakes in the market. As a result of this massive demand, we saw the company top the charts in a Counterpoint Research report recently. Now, as per another research report, Apple has claimed the top spot, shipping more iPhone units than Samsung, in the last quarter of 2020 after four whole years.
The report also states that despite Samsung’s year-on-year decline of 14.6% in smartphone sales, the South Korean giant retained its No. 1 spot as a global smartphone vendor in the whole of 2020. Moreover, Apple and Xiaomi were the only two companies amongst the top five to experience growth as smartphone vendors last year.
