California: The launch of the iPhone 15 is still two weeks away, but the new model has skyrocketed Apple’s hopes of becoming the biggest smartphone company by early 2024.
According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Samsung’s smartphone shipment minutes this year fell by 22 crore units. Which means if Apple’s orders remain unchanged in the second half of 2023, iPhone shipments are expected to be between 22 million and 22.5 million units, making Apple the largest smartphone brand.
Apple’s outlook for 2024 is optimistic with a sales target of 250 million units, while Ming-Chi predicts sales growth of 5 to 10 percent year-on-year.
According to Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple is concerned about further declines in iPhone 15 ship minutes due to supply chain issues. While the delay of the iPhone 15 Pro Max could prove to be a big problem.
According to the analyst, widespread shipment minutes of the iPhone Pro Max should begin this week, and at the same time, Apple should also increase the shipping minutes of its own ‘legacy models’.
