Samsung has reclaimed its title as the world's largest smartphone seller.⁠ ⁠ Apple iPhone shipments fell 9.6% to ~50 million units in the first quarter, per the International Data Corporation (IDC), leaving the tech giant with a 17.3% share of the global smartphone market. ⁠ ⁠ Samsung shipments meanwhile, fell just 0.7% to ~60 million units, putting it back in the top spot Apple had briefly snatched earlier this year. ⁠ ⁠ Largely to blame for Apple's slip back into second are its sluggish sales in China, where it faces increased competition from homegrown companies like Xiaomi. ⁠ ⁠ 📸 : Getty⁠ ⁠ #iphone #apple #samsung #tech #business #businessnews
