After introducing its new model for iPhone 17 last September, Apple Inc. successfully stole its rival’s public attention in the world’s two biggest markets, China and the USA. Here are the details:
Dethroning Samsung
Apple and Samsung have been known as the world’s largest phone makers and most used phone products in the world. Unconsciously, it sparks a fire of rivalry between the two products, from which one is the most innovative and which one is the most used.
After being dethroned by Samsung for over a decade, Apple finally seized its throne once again through its new iPhone.
According to Counterpoint Research, the innovation in their new model has successfully created such a rush among users to change their phones to the newest one. It is also proved by the data, where compared to Samsung, with only 4.6% shipments, Apple has grown at 10% this year.

Regional and International Hit
As stated in the introduction, the launch of iPhone 17 models has become a successful hit both domestically in the USA and in other critical markets, such as China. It created double-digit YoY sales growth in both countries due to the mass phone upgrade sales.
According to Counterpoint analyst, Yan Wang, this success is caused by several factors, including:
- The cooling of USA and China trade tensions
- The dollar decreased
- Apple’s right timing of replacement cycle
All in all, Apple is expected to claim a share of 19.4% from the 3.3% smartphone market growth in 2025. Making an epic comeback as the world’s number one phone maker after last being seen in 2011.
