Globally, shipments of regular “candybar” phones, epitomised by Apple’s iPhone and Samsung Galaxy S phones, have been in the toilet.
In the first quarter of 2023 – the most recent period for which figures are available – they declined 14 per cent compared to the same quarter in 2022, according to Counterpoint Research, a global industry analysis firm based in Hong Kong., though that was offset by a 17 per cent increase in the average price of its phones.In its Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker, International Data Corporation predicted that global, annual phone shipments will end the year 3.
Garry McGregor, vice-president of Samsung Australia’s mobile phone business, says premium phones are outselling cheaper phones, despite the economy.Starting from a small base, Australian sales of folding phones grew 97 per cent in 2022, compared to 2021, said Alvin Lee, senior analyst at the research outfit Telsyte.
