The claims that Samsung and Apple have on smartphone market share in China may come as a surprise to people who are familiar only with U.S. trends. Samsung far outpaces Apple in the world’s most-populous country, with a 24.3 percent share of the smartphone market, according to new figures from Gartner. Apple, by contrast, has only a 7.5 percent share. One reason for the wide gap, Gartner suggested, is the limited number of carriers that distribute the iPhone.
This is definitely true, said Azita Arvani of the Arvani Group. “Samsung has a big lead over Apple in China because it is selling through all three tier one operators in the country.”
