Sihai technology channel, January 27 - Samsung's leading position in the smartphone market is in jeopardy with the strong sales of Apple's iPhone. Although apple and Samsung declined to comment, Apple's iPhone sales will be closer to Samsung's than ever, according to industry analysts. At the same time, it is also a true reflection of Samsung's declining market share.
According to canalys data, Samsung has always maintained its leading position in shipment volume, but its profit is far from that of shipment volume. In the third quarter of 2014, Samsung delivered about 78 million mobile phones, accounting for about 25% of the global market, down from 34% in the same period last year. In the fourth quarter ending December 27, Apple sold 66.5 million iPhones, up 30% from a year earlier.
