In the ever-evolving world of smartphones, one thing seemed certain – Apple’s dominance in the US market. However, according to the latest report from CIRP (Consumer Intelligence Research Partners), Samsung has emerged victorious in Cupertino’s own backyard for the 12-month period ending March 2024. This surprising turn of events has left many questioning what they thought they knew about the mobile industry.
Key points from the report include:
– Samsung secured a 38 percent market share in the US, surpassing Apple’s 33 percent.
– Apple still performed well, but it was not as strong as previous estimates suggested.
– The battle between these two tech giants remains tight, with varying reports from different research firms complicating matters.
Despite Samsung’s lead in overall sales, Apple continues to dominate in flagship sales. The iPhone 15 and iPhone 14 families accounted for a significant portion of Apple’s total handset sales during this period. In contrast, Samsung’s Galaxy S and Z series made up a smaller percentage of their overall sales.
Interestingly, Motorola emerged as a distant third in the smartphone vendor hierarchy with a 13 percent share. This brand focuses on feature-packed mid-range devices at competitive prices, showing promise for future growth.
While profits are important, brand awareness and sales volume also play a crucial role in shaping a company’s success. As Samsung continues to strengthen its presence in key markets like the US with popular mid-range devices, the competition between tech giants is only set to intensify.
