An unpleasant surprise for Apple! Samsung's sales outpace Apple's. According to reports, Apple's smartphone sales declined during the first quarter of 2024. It ranked second behind Samsung, which occupied first place after launching the S24 series of phones. This is not strange for Samsung, as Samsung held the title for years until Apple captured it the previous year, but note that we are talking about the number of phones sold, not profits. On the other hand, Apple informed 614 that their service would end at the beginning of next May. But what is Apple’s motive for this? Follow along with us and we will explain all the details to you, God willing.
Samsung overtakes Apple during the first quarter of 2024
Reports showed that Samsung surpassed Apple in terms of smartphone sales during the first quarter of 2024. This is based on indicators announced by Counterpoint. Indicators showed that Samsung occupied first place with sales exceeding 19.6 million phones. As for Apple, it came in second place with sales of 17.41 million phones. Thus, Samsung's percentage of phone sales around the world constitutes 20% of global sales, outperforming Apple by approximately 2%.
What happened was a surprise to most analysts around the world, and this is because Apple dominated the smartphone market in 2023. Apple showed overwhelming success in the past world, especially in the last quarter of 2023.
By 2024, Samsung controlled about 34% of phone sales within Europe. As well as in the United States of America, by 36%. It is worth noting that all of these indicators are somewhat justified for several reasons. The most important of which is that Samsung launched the Galaxy S2024 series of phones at the beginning of 24. Another reason that affected Apple's sales is TReview its sales in the Chinese market. This is a major crisis for Apple, and we have not seen solutions to it on the ground yet.
Apple lays off 614 employees from the self-driving electric car development department
In an event that surprised everyone, Apple decided to fire 614 employees. This is what she told her employees at the end of March, that the company would lay off the services of its employees at the beginning of next May. Speculation has increased about Apple's intentions regarding this, but sources indicated that the employees who will be laid off are responsible for Self-driving electric car project. These expectations came as a result of the news that Apple decided to cancel its electric car project since last February. Expectations were that all employees responsible for this project would be transferred to the artificial intelligence development department within Apple.
It is worth noting that Apple's official spokesman refused to comment on the news circulating in recent days. It is certainly not easy for employees to provide any details regarding dismissal procedures or the end of their service within Apple. But all the news confirms that the employees who will be laid off are machinery managers, design engineers and instrumentation engineers. We won't have confirmation until Apple says it officially, or an employee agrees to explain what's happening.

I want to ask about the nationality of Maryam, the speech machine. Is she Iraqi or Kuwaiti?
Hello Abdullah 🙋♂️, Maryam is an Apple speech tool and is not tied to a specific nationality. She uses multiple languages, including Arabic, but she is not Iraqi or Kuwaiti. 🌍📱
I think the prices are the reason
I shared an item. Look what it said: Unable to share this item. Please select another item. I hope you fix this problem
Hi Abdullah 🙋♂️, It looks like you're having some problems sharing items. This issue may be related to the app or settings. Try closing and restarting the app, and if the problem persists, it may be a good idea to review your privacy settings. I wish you good luck! 🍀
I want new voices, female and male
I want to ask a question: There is a female voice in the Phone Islam application. Do you know what its name is? There is also a male voice. Do you know what his name is as well?
Hello Abdullah 🙋♂️, the female voice in the Phone Islam application is known as “Sarah” 🎙️👩, and the male voice is known as “Amr” 🎙️👨. We hope you enjoy listening to these two sounds in the app! 💬📱
Every time I share, a voice from the Phone Islam application says: “This item could not be shared. I hope you can fix this problem, thank you.”
Hello Abdullah 🙋♂️, We apologize for the inconvenience you are experiencing. The audio sharing issue may be caused by an app bug or operating system limitation. We will investigate the issue and work to resolve it as quickly as possible. Thanks for your tolerance 🙏🍏.
The problem is that Apple does not provide spare parts for Apple products in the market, and therefore there are no maintenance teams, in addition to the outrageous price of Apple products.
Very good news and competition helps us produce the best
😅 Soon we will see Samsung Islam
I wish I could be blessed, and I prefer Android and Islam! Brother, we are tired of Apple news!
This news is good for me, even though I am a fan of Apple and its fans, but I love the war between technology companies and the competition over technologies, sales, and progress, because the beneficiary first and last is the user, and this means that the companies will give what they have with all their might, and Apple users and Samsung users will benefit, while if Apple were in the lead. Without a competitor, there will be some negligence and laxity because it has guaranteed its market, its users, and its share, and there is no need for it to fight with itself. What is nice to mention is that the news has appeared from now so that there is enough time for Apple to give an appropriate reaction with the iPhone 16.
Hello Fahad Al-Qahtani 🙋♂️, You have an insight into competition between companies. I agree with you in this opinion, as competition is the engine of progress and innovation. There is no doubt that Apple will regain its position and will always remain in the hearts of its fans like you 😎📱.
The difference in production time for each company has an impact on Apple’s decline
Hello Sukra 🙋♂️, indeed the difference in time can play a role in the timing of product launches and this may affect sales. But of course, Apple has a solid plan and I think we will see a response from them soon! 🍏🚀
Because of the low-priced devices of the sister Samsung!
If nothing had happened to Huawei, it would have been number one for consecutive years!
Will be back, won't wait long!
Hi MuhammadJassem, 😊 Your predictions are really interesting. We all know that the market is constantly changing and that Apple and Samsung (as well as Huawei) are great companies that are constantly competing. But customers are always the winners in this technological battle! 📱🍏💙
What is striking is Xiaomi’s progress. I expect it will surpass Samsung, especially in mid-range and lower-range phones, and replace Huawei’s previous position.
Yes, a logical analysis, and it may be Xiaomi!
Perhaps the news is good enough to motivate Apple to catch up with the rest of the companies, especially in the field of artificial intelligence and foldable phones, at least I hope so.
Oh God, welcome to Ali 🙋♂️, I am completely with you. Artificial intelligence and foldable phones are areas in which Apple can excel, and we have great hope for that. Yes, the news can be a powerful motivator for them. Apple is always a source of beautiful surprises 😊🍏.
