Apple can become the world’s number 1 smartphone brand again, leaving Samsung behind after a decade. According to the report of Counterpoint Research, the reason for this will be the rapidly increasing sales of iPhone 17 series. Earlier in 2011, Apple had achieved the position of no.
According to research, the iPhone 17 series launched in September has received a very strong response in both the US and China markets, due to which Apple has recorded a sharp increase in sales. Apart from this, reduction in US-China trade tension and weakness of dollar has increased the purchase of iPhone in major markets also.

iPhone sales will increase by 10%
Counterpoint estimates that iPhone sales will grow by 10% in 2025, while Samsung’s growth will be only 4.6%. With this growth, Apple will leave Samsung behind and come to number 1 position this year.
The global smartphone market will grow by about 3.3% in 2025 and Apple’s share could reach 19.4%. Apple last became the world’s largest smartphone manufacturer in 2011.
Users are upgrading their phones and shifting to iPhone.
Counterpoint analyst Yang Wang said that the main reason behind the success of iPhone 17 is that consumers who bought phones during the Covid period are now upgrading their phones.
358 million second-hand iPhone s are expected to be sold between 2023 and 2025, with users likely to move to newer iPhone models in the next few years.
Sales expected to increase from foldable phones
The report further says that Apple’s reach may become stronger in the coming years. The foldable iPhone and budget iPhone 17e are expected to be launched in 2026, while the company is preparing to bring major design changes in 2027.
For all these reasons, Counterpoint estimates that Apple will continue to be the No. 1 smartphone brand through 2029. Apple said last month that its sales were growing faster than expected and the company’s holiday quarter earnings could reach a record high of about $140 billion.
