The fourth quarter is usually the peak season for Apple mobile phone sales. This is usually because the new models have just been released and they are still hot. Another reason is that it is the holiday season with celebrations such asĀ Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Christmas.Ā According to Wedbush analyst, Daniel Ives, an inspection of the supply chain showed that Apple sold over 40 million iPhone 13s during the holiday season from October to December.

He also claims that the company has about 12 million orders that it is yet to deliver. Apple hopes to resolve these orders in theĀ first half of this year as the supply chain problems improve.Ā From a regional perspective, the Chinese market is most attractive over the past 12 months.Ā Analysts said the reason is that the existing users have started an upgrade to the iPhone 12/13.

Interestingly, the prediction that Apple will become the first company with a $3 trillion market capitalization has been fulfilled. Ives believes that Apple Music, iCloud, Apple TV+, Apple Fitness+, and other services are worth $1.5 trillion.

This is mainly due to the huge popularity of the iPhone 13 series in China. The Double 11 shopping season also contributed. Counterpoint Research predicts that Appleā€™s iPhone sales will decline from December or January 2022. The main reason for the decline is that the period of upgrading for old users will be over. In addition, Counterpoint also linked the surge in Apple iPhone sales to the sanctions on Huawei phones.

So far, the overall performance of the fourth quarter shows that Vivo has a leading 23% shipment share, and Apple ranks fifth with 13%.
