What makes the iPhone “immortal” in the smartphone world?-Hi-tech fashion

According to the analysis, there are two reasons why the iPhone was less affected by the decline in global smartphone sales in the first quarter of 2022.

Global smartphone sales have fallen this year. And analysts predict, the total amount smartphone Sales in 2022 will be lower than in 2021 due to global uncertainties combined with weaker demand. However, according to IDC, Apple is the “least affected supplier” in this case.

According to a report by the analytics firm, smartphone shipments will decline by 3.5% to 1.31 billion units in 2022. Previously, IDC had forecast 1.6% growth in the industry for year 2022.

There are many reasons why the smartphone market is weaker this year, including inflation and geopolitical tensions around the world, the company’s experts explained. In addition, the blockade situation in China also has a great impact on the market. As a result of these lockdowns and global uncertainties, both supply and demand have caused sales to fall.

Still, IDC believes Apple will be less affected than its competitors. That’s because Apple has more control over its supply chain, and most consumers in the high-priced segment are less affected by inflation and other economic problems.

The biggest decline in the smartphone market expected in 2022 is in Europe with shipments dropping 22%. In China, the market is expected to drop 11.5% by year-end, other parts of Asia are expected to grow slightly by 3%.

Fortunately, IDC predicts, this decline is only temporary and the market will soon return to growth. Over the next year, the analytics firm predicts the smartphone industry will grow by 5%. IDC also believes that semiconductor supply problems will ease in the second half of 2022, which will have a positive impact on smartphone sales.
