A new report from Canalys today shares its estimates for US smartphone broadcasts. The data shows Apple as the big winner with iPhone sales actually increasing during the pandemic despite the general smartphone market in the US seeing a decline in shipping.
We have seen estimates for Apple’s iPad shipments of Q2 (Apple’s fiscal Q3) which showed impressive growth as high as 34% YoY. Now we have a report from Canalys about shipping iPhone in the quarter of June in the US showing that Apple is hurting the sector by a 5% decline showing the company to the pandemic .
Canalys data shows iPhone units in the US growing 10% for Q2 compared to the same period last year for a total of 15 million shipments, a new quarterly record.
Apple and Samsung accounted for seven out of every 10 devices sold, and Apple set a new domestic record in Q2, shipping 15.0 million iPhones. It shipped 15% more of its flagship iPhone 11 than last year’s bestseller, the iPhone XR.
In addition to the strong shipments of iPhone 11, Canalys marks on the iPhone-SE with budget price as stimulating the US market share for the quarter to almost 50%.
Samsung came in second with less than half the shipments that iPhone saw at 7.4 million (1% decline) and LG came in third with 3.5 million units (19% decline).
Canalys does not break the estimate of 15 million units of Apple per Apple model. But with Apple sharing in its earnings report that iPhone revenue had risen only 1.66% and Canalys detailing that the average smartphone sold during Q2 for $ 503, Apple’s iPhone SE was undoubtedly a big part of hitting the new US Q2 shipment record.
