Apple captured 20% of global smartphone shipments in 2025, edging out Samsung's 19% share. The Cupertino giant's 10% annual growth dwarfed Samsung's 5% increase, fueled by aggressive financing plans and 5G adoption in emerging markets.

Total shipments grew 2% year-over-year, marking consecutive years of expansion. Q4 saw Apple dominate with a record 25% market share, while iPhone 17 momentum and replacement cycles drove performance in Japan, India, and Southeast Asia.

Tariff fears triggered a first-half inventory surge, though the anticipated demand slump never materialized. Regional disparities emerged: Japan and Middle Eastern markets offset softening U.S. and European demand.

The risk is especially high in leveraged trading since leverage magnifies profits and amplifies risks at the same time. Please make sure you have a thorough understanding of the industry, the leveraged trading models, and the rules of trading before opening a position. Additionally, we strongly recommend that you identify your risk tolerance and only accept the risks you are willing to take. All trading involves risks, so you must be cautious when entering the market.
