It can be Huawei to have a difficult time in recent months due to its exclusion from the US, but Apple is experiencing particular growth.
ΦIt seems that the troubles of the Chinese manufacturer were the opportunity of the technology giant based in Cupertino to rise again to the second place of the smartphone companies in the world for the fourth quarter of 2019.
In accordance with DigiTimes, the dynamic rise of Apple was a result of the release of the iPhone 11 and the negative effects that the exclusion of Huawei had on the company itself.
It is worth noting that despite its blockade by the United States, Huawei in the middle of the second quarter of this year managed to ship sixty million devices, the same number as the shipments it had in the previous quarter. However, despite the positives, the foreclosure may have a negative impact on the company in the last half of the year.
Gartner estimates that shipments could fall to about 50 million devices in the third quarter, before returning to 60 million during the holiday season. Things may look bad, but such numbers are enough for Huawei to maintain its momentum and reach the target of 250 million shipments.
Meanwhile, Apple managed to ship 36 million devices in the first quarter of 2019, according to IDC. Shipments fell to 34 million in the second quarter of this year, and 30 million shipments are expected in the third quarter, with the new generation iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max having the lion's share.
However, sales of the iPhone 11 are better than originally estimated, resulting in increased production. This will result in Apple sending 70 million devices, thus taking second place and lowering Huawei to third place with 60 million shipments.
