Research firm Canalys said Apple shipped 45.1 million iPhones globally, a growth of 25 percent compared to the previous year.
Research firm OMDIA said Apple shipped 39.9 million units, up 13.1 percent from 35.3 million units last year. The iPhone SE, a model with mid-range pricing, and the iPhone 11 helped Apple expand its unit shipments.
“With the launch of the iPhone SE in April, Apple has released a long-desired product, with an attractive price,” said Jusy Hong, director of smartphone research at Omdia. “The launch added a new iPhone model into Apple’s product mix just as lockdown restrictions had reached important markets, such as the United States.”
For most OEMs, the second quarter was another quarter of negative growth. Of the major OEMs, Apple was most successful in navigating the marketplace. The company expanded shipments by 13.1 percent on the back of its iPhone 11 and iPhone SE products, OMDIA report said.
Research firm IDC said Apple shipped 37.6 million iPhones in 2Q20, which placed the company in third with 13.5 percent share of the market. iPhone shipments managed to climb 11.2 percent year over year thanks to the success of its iPhone 11 series and the timely launch of the new SE (2020).
The launch of four new potential models will signal Apple’s entry in the world of 5G and challenge Android 5G devices that have been out for more than a year, IDC said.
