Sizzling iPhone 14 sales made Apple global market leader in October 2022
Apple defeated Samsung in the global market in October 2022 with shipments of the highest number of smartphones. Last month, phone makers shipped 105.68 million units worldwide, which is 11% less than the same period last year.
Researchers say Samsung focused on premium phone sales (such as Galaxy Z Flip 4, Z Fold 4 and S22 Ultra) and profitability. Meanwhile, Apple was the only major smartphone maker whose October 2022 global market sales increased month over month.

Europe
Coming to Europe, monthly smartphone sales recovered for two months in a row, but failed to survive against the market downfall trend from 2021. Europe’s smartphone sales in October were 12.01 million units, down 20% from the same period in 2021.
China
China, which is known as the world’s biggest smartphone market recorded 20.42 million units of shipment in October 2022, which is 4% less than in September and 15% less than in October 2021. Consumers skipped purchasing phones in October due to the 11/11 Singles’ Day shopping festival.
iPhone 14 Series
In two months of launch, Apple shipped 26.09 million units of iPhone 14 series devices, globally. The sales figure is not quite high compared to the iPhone 13 series but helped the company to challenge Samsung’s dominance in the global market.
It’s worth noting that the iPhone 14 Pro line accounted for 70% of 18.14 million units shipped. iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro max ranked first and second in global sales in October. The sales portion of super-premium phones over $800, led by the high-end iPhone 14 reached the highest ever point.
At SID 2023, Samsung unveiled next-gen display technologies and showcased them through device prototypes. I like Rollable Flex the most, while the Flex In and Out and Sensor OLED Display panels are stunningly wonderful. Check the next-gen Samsung Display prototypes below:
Rollable Flex
Rollable Flex expands more than five times, from 49 mm to 254.4 mm in length. While conventional foldable or slidable form factors offer up to three times the scalability, Rollable Flex overcomes such limitations by enabling the display to be rolled and unrolled on an O-shaped axis like a scroll.
Flex In & Out
This new foldable phone concept can be folded both inward and outward 360 degrees.
The ‘in-folding’ form factor, which can only be folded inward, requires a separate external panel to view information while folded, but the Flex In & Out is able to overcome that, opening up the possibility of lighter and thinner foldable phones.
Sensor OLED Display
Samsung Display unveiled a new Sensor OLED Display that can recognize fingerprints anywhere on the screen and even check cardiovascular health at SID Display Week 2023. It can measure the user’s heart rate, blood pressure and stress level simply with the touch of two fingers.
