Samsung, Apple dominate Q2 2024 smartphone market — IDC

Samsung-Galaxy-S23-Ultra-Review-097

The latest report from the International Data Corporation (IDC) reveals a significant upturn in the global smartphone market, with shipments growing by 6.5% in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same period last year. This is the fourth consecutive quarter of shipment growth, indicating a gradual recovery expected to solidify by the end of the year.

As expected, Samsung and Apple maintained their positions at the top of the market. All top 5 companies also reported increased shipments. The IDC attributes this positive trend to advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and higher average selling prices, which have contributed to the smartphone market’s improvement from April to June 2024.

An IDC Research Director highlighted a significant “premiumization” within the market, noting that Samsung and Apple have reaped substantial benefits from the trend. On the other hand, Chinese manufacturers have seen increased shipments primarily in the low-end segment, putting pressure on their share in the mid-range market.

Global-smartphone-market-IDC-Q2-2024

According to the IDC report, 19% of all smartphone shipments are projected to feature AI capabilities. This represents the fastest growth rate for any mobile innovation the IDC has recorded. The incorporation of AI is being seen as a pivotal growth driver, following on the heels of 5G technology and foldable devices.

While the growth in Q2 2024 can be partly attributed to the weak demand experienced in 2023, the upward trend remains encouraging.

As the global smartphone market edges towards recovery, the focus on AI innovation and premium product offerings is likely to shape the landscape moving forward. With the momentum building, industry stakeholders are optimistic about sustained growth and technological advancements in the coming months.

Apple puts Vision Pro update on hold to speed up development of AI smart glasses

Apple has reportedly decided to delay plans for a major update to its high-end Vision Pro headset. Instead, the company is allegedly moving its focus to creating a new line of AI-powered smart glasses that would compete directly with products from Meta. This new rumor comes from a report by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman . Although Apple had been developing a more affordable and lighter version of the Vision Pro, it is now reassigning staff from that project to work on the new smart glasses initiative. According to the report, Apple is developing at least two different types of smart glasses. The first model, known internally as the N50, is designed to work with an iPhone and will not have its own built-in display. Apple’s current plan is to announce these glasses as early as next year, with a full release to the public scheduled for 2027. The second model is a more advanced version that will include its own display. This product would put Apple in direct competition with the recently a...

Meta’s new Muse Spark can plan trips, read snack labels, and build mini games

Meta just released a new AI model called Muse Spark. The company says this one is different as it’s built to actually help people with everyday stuff, not just give fancy answers. Muse Spark comes from Meta Superintelligence Labs. The team spent nine months rebuilding their technology from scratch. This is the first model in a new series, and it’s designed to be small and fast. But despite that, Meta says that it can still handle tough questions in science, math, and health. The Meta AI app and website are getting an upgrade right now. You can choose between two speeds. One gives you quick answers. The other takes more time to think through harder problems. Here’s a real example. Say you’re planning a trip to with your family. The new AI can run multiple tasks at the same time. One part works on the schedule. Another compares different cities. A third looks for fun kids’ activities. You get a complete answer much faster than before. Most AIs only read text, but Muse Spark can ...
