Around 50 million iPhones were shipped during the first quarter of 2024, nearly a 30 million unit decrease compared to the previous quarter and a five million increase compared to the same quarter in the previous year. There has been a tendency of increased Apple smartphone shipments in the fourth quarters every year since 2011.
 iPhones in the global smartphones picture
 
After it’s release in 2007, iPhone has gained solid ground in the global smartphone market, with market share fluctuating between 10 to 20 percent in recent years. As of the first quarter of 2024, Apple’s iPhones sales composed 17.3 percent of the total global smartphones sales.
 COVID-19 impact
  
With the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), shipments of various high-tech products were expected to stagnate during the first quarter of 2020, according to revised forecasts from March 26, 2020. Fewer smartphone units were expected to be shipped over the course of 2020, compared to previous forecasts. In 2021, however, Apple shipped more units globally than ever before.
