Apple iPhone: According to the report of research firm IDC, the global smartphone market may come under pressure in the year 2026. It is estimated that worldwide smartphone shipments may fall by about 0.9 percent. The main reason for this is the rising prices of memory chips, due to which the average selling price of phones is expected to reach record levels.
2025 will prove to be a great year for Apple
While on one hand there are signs of slowdown in the market, on the other hand 2025 is going to be a very strong year for Apple. IDC estimates that Apple’s shipments may increase by 6.1 percent to about 247 million units in 2025. The strong demand for iPhone 17 series is being considered as the biggest reason behind this tremendous growth.
iPhone 17 shines in China
iPhone 17 has further strengthened the company’s position in China, one of Apple’s biggest markets. During October and November, Apple’s market share crossed 20 percent. This excellent performance has overturned the earlier estimate of 1 percent decline. Now IDC expects Apple’s shipments in China to increase by about 3 percent in 2025.
New record in earnings from iPhone
Globally, Apple is expected to earn revenue of more than $261 billion from iPhone sales in 2025. This figure will be about 7.2 percent more than last year. This means that iPhone is going to touch new heights for Apple in terms of units as well as earnings.
The record of iPhone demand is breaking every year
If we look at the last three years, it is clearly visible that the sales of Apple’s iPhone are continuously increasing. While earlier iPhone was considered a premium and limited number of users, now it is becoming the first choice of a large number of people. The special thing is that this growth is not limited to just one country, but the demand for iPhone has increased rapidly in India, China and other emerging markets also.
iPhone craze increasing among youth
In the last few years, the attraction of iPhone has increased significantly among the youth. Better camera quality, smooth performance and long-term software updates have made it a reliable device. In the era of social media and content creation, the camera and video quality of iPhone is being liked a lot by the youth, which has continuously boosted its sales.
Old models also increased sales
A major reason for the increasing sales of iPhone is its older models. After the launch of every new iPhone, the prices of old models reduce due to which more people start buying them. Apple benefits from this in that its premium brand remains intact and at the same time mid-range users also enter the iPhone ecosystem.
Users shifting from Android to iOS
Another important reason is that a large number of users are shifting from Android phones to iPhone. Due to better privacy, secure system and long-term support, people have started considering iOS more reliable. The trend of users buying Apple devices again after using iPhone once also keeps its sales stable.
