Analysts at Counterpoint Research have projected that Apple’s iPhone 17 series will propel the tech giant to surpass Samsung and claim the top spot in global phone shipments for the year. Reports from CNBC and Bloomberg indicate that Apple is expected to ship 243 million phones, giving it a 19.4 percent share of the smartphone market, edging out Samsung’s estimated 235 million shipments.

Strong Sales Growth for iPhone 17 Series
