This weakness took vivo out of first place where it was during last year's second quarter and moved it to second behind Huawei. During the quarter, vivo's smartphone shipments dropped 10.1% to 11.9 million units, leaving it with a market share of 17.3% Apple fans are asking, "Where's Apple? Certainly, Apple is next?" But the answer to that is a resounding "NOPE." Actually, Oppo took third place, and the 10.7 million smartphones it delivered during the second quarter were 5% less than it shipped during the same quarter last year. Oppo finished the second quarter with a 15.5% slice of the Chinese smartphone market pie.

So now we are about to divulge which company was the fourth largest smartphone shipper in China during Q2, and we can tell those Apple fans out there that Apple...is not number four. That spot belongs to Xiaomi, a company once known as China's Apple due to the designs of its smartphones that paid homage to Apple's iPhones at the time. Xiaomi was the only firm to hike its smartphone shipments in China during the second quarter, raising the number of units delivered by 3.4% to 10.4 million, giving it a market share of 15.1%.
Lastly, in fifth place after shipping 9.6 million iPhones in China during the June quarter, Apple saw its phone shipments slip 1.3%. That left Apple with a 13.9% market share in China for the second quarter.

IceUniverse: Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge to pack a 4,400 mAh battery
Michail, 01 August 2025 The Galaxy S26 Edge has been the subject of numerous rumors lately, with several concerning its battery capacity. Previous rumors have hinted that Samsung will increase the phone's battery capacity to 4,200 mAh, which would be a solid upgrade over the S25 Edge and its 3,900 mAh cell, and we now get another scoop from Ice Universe. According to the latest leak, the S26 Edge will arrive with a 4,400 mAh battery. Note that the tipster's latest post acknowledges conflicting information surrounding the S26 Edge's battery capacity, so take this info with a few grains of salt. Other rumors about the S26 Edge suggest it will be even thinner than its predecessor, which comes in at 5.8mm. The upcoming S26 Edge is expected to gain a 50MP ultrawide lens and a chipset upgrade, but it remains to be seen if it will be an Exynos or a Snapdragon. Source

Apple has officially sold 3 billion iPhones since 2007
It took Apple nine years to sell the first billion, with that milestone reached in 2016. Now, nine years later, the company has sold another 2 billion, showing just how much the iPhone's popularity has grown over time. But while Apple celebrates the 3 billion mark, it has been having a rougher time on Wall Street lately. The company has slipped behind Nvidia According to the earnings call, iPhone sales brought in $44.6 billion, up 13% year-over-year and that is nearly half of Apple's total $94 billion in revenue for the quarter.

So maybe what is even more worth celebrating is that iPhone sales this quarter turned out to be stronger than to the earnings call, iPhone sales brought in $44.6 billion, up 13% year-over-year and that is nearly half of Apple's total $94 billion in revenue for the quarter.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman speculated that more people may have rushed to buy iPhones last quarter because of fears that Trump's tariff plans could drive up prices in the US Apple should be very pleased with the folks who spread the lies that the iPhone will cost $3000 or $25,000 if made in the U.S. Clearly that helped a ton for the June quarter. — Mark Gurman (@markgurman) July 31, 2025 Still, 3 billion is a massive number.

Samsung , Apple's biggest rival, is believed to have sold a similar amount of Galaxy phones since it entered the scene in 2009 – and maybe even slightly more – but exact numbers are total, over 26.3 billion mobile phones were shipped globally between 1992 and 2020 and that number grew to 28.9 billion by Android holding around 70% of the global market share as of 2024, both Apple and Samsung are clearly doing just fine. I mean, in both cases, the 'tech giant' label definitely fits. Samsung stands out for holding its ground against a flood of Android competitors – Motorola Huawei (even though it's shifted away from Android), vivo and so much more – while Apple keeps holding on to its own loyal slice of the market. The iPhone has officially hit 3 billion units sold since its launch back in 2007.
