Despite the fact that Huawei devices are not sold through any US wireless carrier, the company is seeing significant growth around the world. This week’s IDC worldwide quarterly mobile phone tracker report showed that Huawei had an astonishing 50% growth in shipments over 2018 and now has 19% of the smartphone market share compared to Samsung at number one with 23% and Apple in third place with 11.7%.
Apple showed a 30.2% decline compared to last year while its marketshare figure dropped from a fairly steady 15% to 11.7%. Apple won’t launch a 5G iPhone until at least 2020 so it’s likely we will continue to see flat or declining shipment volumes from Apple in 2019.
