Canalys: Apple ships fewer iPhones in 2018, Samsung misses targets too

30 January 2019
Q4 was contentious as both giants lost ground, however Huawei shot up 47%. Xiaomi had a poor Q4, but solid full year performance.

Excellent work by Huawei and Oppo, taking chunks out of Samsung and Apple.

If Huawei carry on like this they may really end up being the top manufacturer in terms of volume.

Anyway I could not care less how many phones they sell, as long as they keep innovating, putting bigger batteries, faster chargers and incredible cameras on their phones I wil comeback.

The Mate 20 Pro has proven that they can build the best all-round smartphone and still get 2day battery life, while the competitors try make "All Day Battery" sound great, LOL.

      I think it's pretty obvious now that people are not willing to pay loads of money for more of the same dull, lacking innovation products; at the end of the day you shouldn't pay the price of car for a phone, it's ridiculous!!
