https://dtechterminal.blogspot.com/2015/01/applethe-largest-smartphone-vendor.html
Gone are those days when Apple used to console itself seeing Samsung
receiving for world’s largest manufacturer achievement. Samsung has long
enjoyed the reputation of being the biggest smartphone vendor in the
world. But this time, Apple has snatched the accolade from its lap and
is happily showing off the award as the world’s largest smartphone
vendor.
According to an analysis by a trusted company, Creative Strategies,
Apple has set a benchmark by selling 74.5 million iPhones. It is the
biggest quarterly profit by any company in the history of smartphone
trade. However, Samsung says that it has sold as much as 95 million
handsets in total, out of which 71 million – 75 million are smartphones.
Well, the South Korean producer is just putting ahead big numbers to
cover its defeat.
The picture above clearly speaks of Apple’s win over the other
vendors. The analyst for Creative Strategies, Ben Bajarin crowns Apple
as the winner this time. However, another analysis firm Strategy
Analytics claims that both Apple and Samsung shipped the same number of
phones in the fourth quarter last year – 74.5 million smartphones.
Few days back, Apple saw record-breaking fiscal Q1 2015 earnings of
$74.6 billion, out of which $18 billion was the net profit. This net
gain figure put Apple in the topmost spot in terms of revenue. The
soaring sales of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus is the reason behind this success.
Though Apple has acquired the top position, Samsung will not sit back
and let the Cupertino-based giant enjoy the prestige. It will surely
work on a unique product to entice more customers. It would be exciting
to see what Samsung comes up with next.
