The market trend research and analysis company TrendForce has stated in a report that Apple will sell about 227,5 million iPhone devices this year, which would mean a growth of 5,6% compared to last year.
Furthermore, these figures would reveal a growth that would be above the average growth of the sector of smartphones, which is estimated at 4,8 percent for this year.
The OLED screen of the iPhone X, key to this growth
According to TrendForce, Apple will sell 227,5 million iPhones this year, which will represent a growth of 5,6% over the previous year, and 0,8% above the average growth of the global smartphone sector. The company hopes that sales of the iPhone X model, which, predictably, will integrate an OLED screen, are significant not only for Applebut for the entire smartphone industry as a whole.
Among the three iPhone 10th anniversary models to be released, the 5,8-inch premium model will come with an AMOLED display. The introduction of an AMOLED iPhone will help accelerate AMOLED adoption in the smartphone market. TrendForce predicts that around 43% of smartphones shipped worldwide in 2020 will feature the AMOLED display.
And, although Apple is not always the first company to adopt a new technology, it is often the one that drives the widespread adoption of such technologies, and this is what would happen according to TrendForce.
On the other hand TrendForce also expects the facial recognition technology, which could be called Face ID, also has a similar impact on the adoption of this technology in the rest of the secot.
The total global market value for 3D sensing modules used in mobile devices is estimated to reach $ 1.500 billion in 2017 and is projected to see massive growth of 209% to around $ 14.000 billion in 2020.
Finally, Strategy Analytics notes that Apple has shipped a total of 1.200 billion iPhones from the original model in 2007 through the second quarter of 2017.
And while the sales predictions for the next iPhone point to record figures, in the Steve Jobs Theater the press is already accessing the interior and almost everything is ready for the iPhone X Keynote of which we will keep you duly informed in Actualidad Gadget.
