Xiaomi had the best year-on-year increase in shipments among the world's top five smartphone ... [+]
© 2019 Bloomberg Finance LPApple shipped its most iPhones ever in a single three-month period in the fourth quarter of 2020; China’s Huawei sank and its Huawei’s Chinese rivals gained, research firm Canalys said today.
At 81.8 million units, Apple’s shipments rose 4% from the previous year. Samsung ranked second, shipping 62.0 million units, a 12% decline from a year earlier.
“The iPhone 12 is a hit,” said Canalys analyst Vincent Thielke in a statement. “Apple is better positioned than its competitors on 5G, being heavily skewed towards developed markets, and mobile operator sales channels.”
Xiaomi, Oppo and Vivo rounded out the top five, with each seeing share gains from a “beleaguered” Huawei (including Honor), Canalys said. Xiaomi grew 31% to 43.4 million units, Oppo grew 15% to 34.7 million units, while Vivo shipped 32.1 million units for 14% growth.
Huawei (including Honor) came in sixth place in the fourth quarter with 32.0 million smartphones shipped, marking the first time in six years that it fell outside the global top five smartphone vendors. “Huawei dramatically receded in most markets as the result of the U.S. sanctions,” said Canalys analyst Amber Liu.
