Apple iPhone faces major threat from Samsung
Apple iPhone faces major threat from Samsung originally appeared on TheStreet. The smartphone market hasn't seen many significant changes over the past decade. As a result, many are content sticking with their older Apple iPhones rather than upgrading to the latest models for what amounts to tweaks rather than overhauls. That's a big problem for Apple, because it means fewer iPhone sales and the risk of losing market share to rivals, including Samsung. According to data from Telemetry, the most commonly owned iPhone is the iPhone 13, representing 16.3% of all iPhones in use. That's pretty telling, given that Apple releases new iPhones annually and the iPhone 13 was launched in 2021. Samsung grabs market share from Apple Given the latest data from Canalys/Omdia on the US smartphone market share, Samsung's phones may have an innovation edge that's winning over more people. Samsung has launched foldable and flippable phones over the past few years, including its highly-rated Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Samsung Galaxy Flip on second-quarter smartphone shipment data, those phones may be helping it chip away at Apple's market share. While Apple iPhone shipments declined 2% year over year to 44.8 million units in the second quarter of 2025, Samsung shipments swelled 7% to 57.5 million phones. As a result, Apple's market share was flat at 16% while Samsung's rose 1% to 20% year over year. The global market share for the top five smartphone makers, according to Canalys/Omdia: Samsung: 20% Apple: 16% Xiaomi: 15% vivo: 9% TRANSSION: 9% "Many vendors are betting on a hectic launch season in Q3, focusing on topics such as AI, foldables and slimness, to reboot demand ahead of the holiday shopping season toward the end of the year," noted Sheng Win Chow, Senior Analyst at Canalys/Omdia. 'Samsung has refocused its strategy on 'smart volume,' aiming to profitably scale its mass market Galaxy A series while continuing to grow its premium models," said Aaron West, Senior Analyst at Omdia. More Tech Stocks: Analyst reboots SoFi Technologies price target after capital raise Amazon makes surprising decision to cut losses on recent deal Apple makes $100 billion genius move to skirt huge problem IDC agrees that Samsung also has an advantage in offering a wider selection of smartphones at more price points, including its Galaxy A-series of phones, which aren't as high-end as its S-series, but are less expensive. For example, the current A36 is much less expensive than the current S35 (the S36 is anticipated in 2026). Samsung A36 is $399.99 Samsung S35 is $799.99 'Samsung was able to consolidate its market leadership and outperform the overall market, achieving strong growth in the quarter driven by the sales of its new Galaxy A36 and A56 products,' said Francisco Jeronimo, vice president, Client Devices, IDC. 'These new products introduce AI-enabled features to mid-range devices, which has been effectively used in retail stores to drive sales, as more consumers become curious about AI.' Apple may have an iPhone problem Apple founder Steve Jobs was legendary for his "one more thing" product reveals at conferences. He oversaw a tremendous period of innovation at Apple that included the launch of the iPod, iPhone, and iPad. Since CEO Tim Cook took over, the company has made fewer big splashes, instead focusing on tweaks like better cameras rather than major instance, commonly considered major iPhone launches include the iPhone 6 in 2014, which had a larger screen, and the iPhone X, which had an edge-to-edge display. Certainly, there have been changes under the hood with more powerful chips, but nothing has changed dramatically enough to cause a massive rush by Apple loyalists to upgrade. The seeming lack of innovation contradicts Apple's long-time reputation for reshaping design and how consumers use and interact with their devices. This is most evident in the fact that Apple's iPhone looks largely similar to prior generations, and the company has yet to launch a foldable display like Samsung's. It's also evident in Apple Intelligence's features, which pale when compared to Google's Gemini, found in Samsung smartphones running on Android. Or rival AI chatbots like OpenAI's ChatGPT or Anthropic's Claude. Will Apple (finally) launch breakthroughs in 2026? Cook is more than aware of the perception that Apple is behind the curve in AI and smartphones. Recently, rumors swirled that Cook may open Apple's substantial pockets to make a splashy AI acquisition. Most reports focused on Perplexity, a top-five AI chatbot by market share that launched in 2022 around the same time as ChatGPT, and is run by CEO Aravind Srinivas, formerly of Google's DeepMind and Perplexity may have squashed those rumors last week when it made an unsolicited $34.5 billion bid for the Google Chrome browser. Google is the defendant in a Department of Justice antitrust trial, and some believe it will be forced to jetison its Chrome browser to satisfy monopoly concerns. The size of Perplexity's bid suggests that it would be too pricey for Apple, which has largely focused on small, bolt-on acquisitions. Its largest acquisition was Beats for $3 billion in 2014. Perplexity would likely cost tens of billions of dollars more. While the odds of big M&A have fallen, there's hope that we could see major product unveilings in 2026. Among the possible launches being discussed: A more robust AI Chatbot version of Siri for iPhones. An AI-powered desktop 'Robot' with a display and arm.

Modi's tax overhaul to strain finances but boost image amid US trade tensions
By Nikunj Ohri, Aftab Ahmed and Aditya Kalra NEW DELHI (Reuters) -Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's deepest tax cuts in eight years will strain government revenues but are winning praise from businesses and political pundits who say they will bolster his image in an ongoing trade fight with Washington. In the biggest tax overhaul since 2017, Modi's government on Saturday announced sweeping changes to the complex goods and services tax (GST) regime which will make daily essentials and electronics cheaper from October, helping consumers and also companies like Nestle, Samsung and LG Electronics. At the same time, in his Independence Day speech on Friday, Modi urged Indians to use more goods made domestically, echoing calls from many of his supporters to boycott U.S. products after Donald Trump hiked tariffs on imports from India to 50% as of August 27. The tax cut plan comes with costs given GST is a major revenue generator. IDFC First Bank says the cuts will boost India's GDP by 0.6 percentage points over 12 months but will cost the state and federal government $20 billion annually. But it will improve weak stock market sentiment and bring political dividends for Modi ahead of a critical state election in the eastern state of Bihar, said Rasheed Kidwai, a fellow at New Delhi-based Observer Research Foundation. "GST reduction will impact everyone, unlike cuts to income tax, which is paid by only 3%-4% of the population. Modi is doing this as he is under a lot of pressure due to U.S. policies," said Kidwai. "The move will also help the stock market, which is now politically important as it has a lot of retail investors." India launched the major tax system in 2017 that subsumed local state taxes into the new, nationwide GST to unify its economy for the first time. But the biggest tax reform since India's independence faced criticism for its complex design that taxes products and services under four slabs - 5%, 12%, 18% and 28%. Last year, India said caramel popcorn would be taxed at 18% but the salted category at 5%, triggering criticism about a glaring example of GST's complexities. Under the new system, India will abolish the 28% slab - which includes cars and electronics - and move nearly all of the items under the 12% category to the lower 5% slab, benefitting many more consumer items and packaged foods. Government data shows the 28% and 12% tax slabs together garner 16% of India's annual GST revenue of roughly $250 billion last fiscal year. 'A BRIGHTER GIFT' AND POLITICS Bihar is a key state politically and goes to the polls by November. A recent survey by the VoteVibe agency showed Modi's opposition has an edge largely because of a lack of jobs. "Any tax cut has wide public appreciation. But of course, the timing is purely determined by political exigencies," said Dilip Cherian, a communications consultant and co-founder of Indian public relations firm Perfect Relations. "It seems to be an indication of some mixture of frustration as well as recognition that there is a broad public pushback against high and crippling rates of taxation." Modi's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party has seized on his tax announcement, posting on X that on the Hindu festival of lights, Diwali, "a brighter gift of simpler taxes and more savings is waiting for every Indian." Modi has vowed to protect farmers, fishermen and cattlemen, following Trump's surprise tariff announcement on India, after trade talks between New Delhi and Washington collapsed over disagreement on opening India's vast farm and dairy sectors and stopping Russian oil purchases. The latest round of trade talks between the two nations set for August 25-29 has also been called off.
