Apple's shipments decreased 12% compared to the previous quarter, and ranked third, one notch lower than the previous quarter.
Counterpoint explained that the global smartphone market decreased 7% in the second quarter due to global semiconductor shortage and spread of COVID-19, but sales increased by 35% year-on-year to $113 billion (about 129.5658 trillion won).
