It was the sixth consecutive quarter of decline for global smartphone shipments, the market tracker added.

IDC saw the results as a sign that 2019 will be another down year overall for smartphone shipments, apart from strong growth by Huawei.

"The overall smartphone market continues to be challenged in almost all areas, yet Huawei was able to grow shipments by 50 percent." Huawei, meanwhile, weighed in with 50.3 percent growth to ship 59.1 million smartphones and put it within"striking distance" of Samsung, according to IDC.Apple had a challenging first quarter, with iPhone shipments dropping by a"staggering" 30.2 percent from a year earlier to 36.4 million units, IDC reported.

Apple delivered stronger-than-expected financial results for the past quarter as gains in services helped offset slumping iPhone sales, sparking a rally in shares of the technology giant.

realDonaldTrump wont like this development 😂😂😂😂

I predicted this long time ago, HUAWEI is the fastest, growing cellphone brand. Sumsang must watch the space too

They r there on merit!

It was only a matter of time, iPhone is overrated.

Despite Trump and his GOP cronies trying hard to discredit it

The making of another American Ford.

Most of us buy IPhones for the Apple at the back.

This with no footprint in the USA 👏🏾

That's good news

Ladies if you ever watch porn using a Huawei P30 make sure you take a morning after pill. Thank me later

It jumped long time only that Americans they did not like us Huawei p35 Pro coming soon

mash_iie Through all this shiki shiki, Samsung still sits comfortably at no.1

But this doesn't take anything away from the face that iPhone is one of the greatest to ever grace God's green earth... PERIOD

When I said Huawei was ahead of iPhone, these streets were very harsh on me. People were hooked on iPhone hype and didn't want to accept the reality that Huawei is the new Sherrif in town. Huawei is brilliant.

iPhone users are so touched by this tweet, the comments 😧

💪🔥

Apple was overrated anyways

Jul_Nzu I'm not supprised!!

Apple only sells 3 new smartphones and Huawei has a thousand I think that make sense but Apple is making more profit than Huawei Cause their phones are much more expensive

cambelsin TeJayC it’s happening 😳😳😳🤔🤔

Ndeebuwo 😂😂😂🤣🤣

Is it a Chinese product isn't?

Nteseng57851147 we are on top of them now... We are rewriting the rules with a permanent marker.

Apple won’t accept the defeat, we are about to see the best of Tim Cook, CEO of Apple. iPhone I’m not dumping you still.

On offense to anyone, but you guys make me wonder what kind of society we live in, just because Madrid didn’t win the league title that doesn’t make it a bad team. You loose you regroup a continue with your journey! Once and iPhone user always and iPhone user 🤷🏾‍♂️

Wow....Im not suprised thou

I wonder what would happen if huawei could sell in America

that's why the west are after them ..quality is getting better if Huawei and cheaper .eventually its bye bye apple

It’s a much cheaper phone and everyone can afford it. It’s probably like comparing vw sales to Mercedes

Last week I went to buy an Apple iPhone and came back with Huawei P30 instead. A week tweets these news. Man oh man

obvious

... In a drastically shrinking smartphone market, ya’ll forgot to put that in your headline

Now it is the best time to buy HUAWEI shares.

The number 2 spot competition is healthy and heating up 🔥 well the mighty SamsungMobileSA will remain the undisputed king 👑

iPhone is suffering because of its Apartheid system of being selective and too exclusive! The sooner they fix that mess the better ;as for us Huawei owners we are over the moon for now!

We know already

No surprises here

p30😎😘

Competition is great. Having options is good. I still prefer Samsung and iPhone.

NkaniYabathathu But can we pronounce the name though...it needs lesson in pronouncing the name app as a default before you can use the phine😂

NkaniYabathathu I love Huawei 😍❤️

XhamelaTango I’m changing phones

Who's number 1

There's really no reason to be hanging onto Apple unless you have money to waste tbh

It's not a tough market for Huawei It's way too easy to be honest to your customers and they won't leave Apple is one of the most arrogant companies since Trump hopped in They will never retain that spot with that 'Multichoice' arrogance

I'm an iPhone user and this makes me very happy.... Competition is healthy. Keep them on their feet Huawei... Make them shape up or ship out! We want the best possible value for our money and we want innovation. We want all that now! Apple must know.

Thus angered the US and thus they instigated non-existent chargers against the CFO

When are we covering Stellenbosch racist study on the cognitive functioning of people of colour?

Lethu_Dlamini it has started

I still own a flawless GR72017 from Huawei runs like a high end laptop. Product strategy Huawei is league's ahead so not surprised. Great price points too!

Battery last longer and chargers very fast 😳♥️♥️♥️

Their smartphones are best ,even battery last longer as compared to Samsung

I’m not buying a phone for R33000.00 but my next phone is Huawei at R18000.00 half the price

I may have made up my mind, now!!😍

They make good phones, cheaper than Samsung

That's why the west doing everything in their power to end Huawei

And it's banned in USA

I love Huawei it have that thing🔥🔥🔥🔥
