Apple's booming iPhone sales are no longer a secret, but the new data shared by Francisco Jeronimo of IDC, including some tidbits, may surprise many people. First of all, it is important to remember that these data are about the UK and therefore do not apply to the global market.
In Britain, Apple It is clearly the number one mobile phone brand. Among all mobile devices sold in the UK in the first quarter of this year, iPhone Accounting for 23.931 million of them. This means that the Cupertino based technology giant has a 48.4% market share in the UK, so one of every two smartphones sold in the country is an iPhone.
Samsung followed suit, becoming the runner up as expected. The multinational company from South Korea sold 15.761 million mobile phones in the UK, with a market share of more than 31%.
The third brand is Nokia, which sold 2.1 million units in the first quarter of this year. Google also entered the top five. The company sold 1.639 million pixel phones in the UK, so it now has a market share of 3.3% in the UK.
What we need to know is that Google limited the supply of pixel to a few markets, which has long been a decision criticized by external users. It is quite difficult to buy pixel in many countries.
Oppo currently ranks fourth on the list, with total sales of no less than 2.059 million mobile phones in the first quarter of this year.
