News on April 15, according to a report released by IDC, the global smartphone market rebounded significantly in the first quarter of this year, but the performance of Apple’s iPhone was very poor.

Data shows that Apple’s iPhone shipments dropped sharply by nearly 10% in the first quarter, which is in sharp contrast to the overall growth of the global smartphone market.

Specifically, the global mobile phone market shipments increased to 289.4 million units, an increase of approximately 7.8% compared with the same period last year. Samsung Electronics once again took the top spot, and Transsion, which focuses on the African market, achieved substantial growth in shipments, with a growth rate of 85%.

In addition, Xiaomi’s data in the first quarter also showed signs of rebound, and the gap with second-ranked Apple is gradually narrowing, and the possibility of surpassing is increasing.

According to preliminary data from IDC, shipments of Apple’s iPhone series have dropped significantly by about 5 million units compared with the same period last year, mainly due to poor sales in the Chinese market.

For Huawei, it is also catching up through more new machines.
