Apple becomes number one
A big change has been seen in the smartphone market.

While Apple stood first, Samsung came second and Xiaomi came third. South Korean company Samsung has recorded 226.6 million shipments in the entire year. And Chinese brand Xiaomi has shipped 145.9 million smartphone units in the year 2023.
