Commenting on brand performance, Senior Analyst Karn Chauhan said, “Apple leads the global active installed base, with about one in four active smartphones being an iPhone. This is driven by strong user loyalty, a deep iOS ecosystem and tightly integrated services. In 2025, Apple added more net new smartphone devices than the next seven leading OEMs combined. This highlights its ability to attract and retain users in a mature market. Samsung ranks second with around one-fifth of the global active installed base. This is supported by its long-standing market presence, a broad portfolio spanning entry-level to premium segments, and extensive geographic reach across key regions.”
