IERI (Yesterday) Apple announced that it sold 27 million smartphones worldwide, 10 million more than in the same period last year. This sales figure keeps the company in the second position in the top smartphone sellers, Samsung being ranked in first place, with double the number of smartphones. Although in the case of Apple we clearly know how much the company sold, Samsung refuses to say how much it sells and all the figures presented for the company represent only analysts' estimates.
The data from Strategy Analytics are also supported by IDC, which also presents us with a hierarchy of mobile phone sellers, with Apple climbing to the third position. Although iPhone sales increased compared to the same period last year, they decreased compared to the previous fiscal quarter, but the next period will solve the problem for Apple, because it is estimated that more than 40 million terminals will be sold by the company in the whole world.
