A year ago today, Strategy Analytics reported that Huawei had finally overtaken Apple to become the world’s second largest smartphone vendor. Twelve months later, Apple has failed to gain any ground, as the latest quarterly analysis from the firm shows both Samsung and Huawei increased their smartphone shipments year-over-year, while iPhone sales dropped more substantially than any of the other major firms in the market.
Taking a step back, it’s worth noting that global smartphone shipments are down year-over-year once again, having dropped from 350.4 million in Q2 2018 to 341.4 million in Q2 2019. That’s a notable dip, but still slightly less severe than the one the industry suffered last year when shipments fell by 10 million.
