Apple accounted for 22 per cent of worldwide smartphone shipments in Q4 2021, but overall shipments for the quarter grew just 1 per cent, as vendors faced supply chain problems and a resurgence in Covid-19 cases. Samsung took second place, down from the top spot in Q3 2021, with a market share of 20 per cent. "Apple saw unprecedented iPhone performance in Mainland China, with aggressive pricing for its flagship devices keeping the value proposition strong," said Canalys analyst Sanyam Chaurasia.
