new information from IDC suggests an anticipated growth of around 1% by 2025 (essentially stagnant), culminating in a total of 1.24 billion units. Clearly, this figure may not seem substantial, but here’s the twist — according to IDC’s findings, global smartphone shipments this year would have actually decreased if not for a surge in Apple’s iPhone deliveries.
The entire sector is projected to finish in positive numbers this year due to an expected 3.9% increase in iOS sales, highlighting the significant value still placed on Apple and its iPhone range, even amid a challenging worldwide economy with varied demand. Apple, no doubt, is also pleased with these statistics, particularly at this moment, just days before the company’s annual fall iPhone launch event — with the iPhone 17 release imminent.
