iPhone X it helps you Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), to surpass Samsung again in smartphone sales on global markets, this year's situation being a copy of what happened in Q4 2016 between the companies. Then it happened for the first time in history that Apple surpassed Samsung in smartphone sales, and in Q4 2017 a similar evolution is expected thanks to the launch of the iPhone X, which is in high demand.
iPhone X already records very high sales at Apple and its partners from all over the world, and analysts believe that the phone will help the company reach a market share of 19.1% in the smartphone segment. Samsung has an estimated market share of 18.2% at the moment, but thanks to the iPhone X, the Apple company should generate sales in Q4 2017 that should place it above the Koreans.
iPhone X enters the fight with extremely many very cheap phones sold by Samsung, the average of the best selling ones being 200-300 dollars, so as many as 4-5 Apple phones. I told you today who I am the best-selling smartphones in Q3 2017, and in the top 5 there were two iPhone models and one Samsung Galaxy J2 Prime, a phone that accounts for 10% of Samsung's global sales, so the iPhone X is fighting with models of this kind.
iPhone X will help Apple surpass Samsung in sales
The iPhone X still has everything it needs to bring the Apple company the success it is looking for, the Americans estimating that they will also register record revenues in Q4 2017, a sign that they expect bad sales. To generate a year-over-year record, the iPhone X must help Apple surpass the 77 million iPhones sold in Q4 2016, and this should happen.
"Samsung is expected to slightly scale back the production of its high-end models in the fourth quarter as the brand is seeing the sales of its smartphones being squeezed by the strong demand for Apple's latest iPhone devices. TrendForce estimates that Samsung's fourth-quarter total volume will come to 77 million units, a 5% drop from the third quarter."
The iPhone X just needs to be in stock to help Apple set a new sales record, and that's because there is now such a high demand that there just needs to be phones to sell. With a competition consisting of very cheap phones, the iPhone X will generate huge revenues and profits for the Apple company in Q4 2017, but this is something normal, which happens every fiscal quarter for Americans.
iPhone X forces Samsung to reduce its production of premium phones, i.e. the series Samsung Galaxy S8 and Samsung Galaxy Note 8, because they have no chance against Apple's new phone model. In this idea, iPhone X is the forerunner of a Q4 2017 from which Apple will come out with a lot of money, but also with a new victory in the global battle on the smartphone market with Samsung.
