Apple is poised to surpass Samsung as the global leader in smartphone shipments in 2025.

This milestone highlights a significant shift in the competitive landscape of the mobile device industry. Apple has not held this top position in 14 years.

The market leadership change underscores Apple's successful product strategy and robust demand throughout the year.

In contrast, Samsung's smartphone business faces reported sales warnings. This achievement solidifies Apple's strong market position as the year concludes.
