Apple left Samsung with no chance to compete for leadership

According to Counterpoint analysts, Apple dominated the U.S. smartphone market for the past year, keeping its main competitor from even getting close.

The company completed the fourth quarter with a share of 56%, which is the best result for 2021, although a year earlier, Apple completely occupied 65% of the market.

Last quarter, U.S. smartphone shipments were up 10% year-over-year and a massive 30% quarter-on-quarter, driven by the launch of the iPhone 13 line.

You can also see that Samsung's share ranged from 22% to 34%, and Motorola was even able to take 12% of the market in the fourth quarter, taking, apparently, most of the market that LG previously occupied in the US.
