Apple Inc. announced record-breaking quarterly shipments in India for the third quarter of 2025, moving 5 million iPhone units and securing the fourth position in the country's smartphone market for the first time with a 10.4% share. This represents a significant 25.6% year-over-year growth, driven by sustained demand for both new and older iPhone models. The iPhone 16 was the most-shipped smartphone in the country during this period. The strong performance in India comes as the overall Indian smartphone market reached a five-year high, growing 4.3% year-over-year. Apple's growth was the second-highest among smartphone vendors. This achievement underscores Apple's successful expansion and increasing traction in a key emerging market, signaling a positive outlook for its international growth strategy. In separate news, it was reported that Apple is delaying the next version of its iPhone Air, which was originally planned for the fall of 2026, due to weaker-than-expected sales of the current model. The company is reportedly considering a redesign that could include a second rear camera to address user feedback.
