Smartphone shipments fell 18.3% in the fourth quarter of 2022. According to analyst firm IDC, this is the biggest drop in history.
We have never seen holiday quarter shipping be any lower in the quarter review. However, a decrease in consumption and an increase in consumption stocks sharply reduce returns.

Apple demanded shipments of iPhones by 14.9% to 72.3 million, but still took first place in terms of shipments. Other food manufacturers are worse.
Samsung ranked second in smartphone shipments (58.2 million, -15.6%), Xiaomi came in second (33.2 million, -26.3%), and Oppo was fourth (25.3 million, -15. 3%). 9%), Vivo closes the top five (22.9 million, -18.9%).
IDC believes that in 2023 the demand for smartphones will grow, so manufacturers continue to reduce supplies. [IDC]
