We know that every quarter Apple presents a financial report that tells us how healthy the company is, at least economically. We also know that Apple has not given shipping figures for a few years now and therefore we have to resort to third-party companies that carry out analyzes and tell us the number of shipments they have been able to make in the period. This has happened in the last quarter of last year, in which it is mentioned that iPhone shipments are down 15%.

iPhone shipments drop 14.9% but the others do even worse

Every quarter Apple data is analyzed to determine if its financial health is good and especially if Apple continues to convince the world that it is the best brand or at least one of the best. In the last quarter, one and the other became clear.

We already know the benefits that the company has achieved, especially since it is the company itself that determines it and announces it officially. What it does not tell us, and this was a few years ago, is about the number of shipments it makes from certain terminals. For that, there are third-party companies that are dedicated to this task. And those companies determine that in the last quarter, the company has gone down in those shipments. Nothing more and nothing less than 14.9%. But the point is that this percentage far exceeds the rest of the companies in the sector.

We first have to talk about general aspects. For that, you have to know that global shipments of smartphones decreased by 18.3%, according to preliminary data from the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker. This is the lowest figure since 2013 And it is clear that prices rise and not in line with the rise in wages, if they do rise. Users do not want to jump through the hoops of increasingly expensive phones.

The organization warns that this annual drop is mainly due to the drop in the last quarter of the year. Which was spectacular. In fact, they never saw such a sharp drop in the same period.

Drops in iPhone shipments are at an annual global of 4%. below other companies. From Samsung with a 9.15% drop, to Xiaomi with 6.26%. So Apple is still, without a doubt, the most acquired.
