Counterpoint Says U.S. Smartphone Sales Are Down, But Mostly on the Android Side
Matthew Orf, writing for Counterpoint Research:
US smartphone shipments declined 24% YoY in Q2 2023, according to
Counterpoint Research’s Market Monitor data. This was the third
consecutive quarter of YoY declines. Android brands like Samsung,
Motorola and TCL-Alcatel saw the steepest declines in shipments,
while Apple’s shipments were more resilient. As a result, Apple’s
share of shipments increased YoY.
Android smartphone shipments declined 38% while Apple shipments
fell 6% YoY.
Samsung’s sales — according to Counterpoint — were exactly in line with Android overall, down 37 percent overall. You’d think they’d be up, not down, with all those foldables they sell. Another interesting tidbit: Counterpoint claims Google Pixel sales are up 48 percent year-over-year. If true, maybe, finally, Pixels are starting to get traction? I have to give Google credit for doggedly sticking with it.
Apple’s share of shipments in Counterpoint’s tallying has been 50+ percent for 4 consecutive quarters.
