Going beyond the norm, Apple is preparing to launch the iPhone 16 series first in Korea. So why did Apple, which does not give up its traditions easily, decide to make such a change? Details are in our news…
Apple will launch the iPhone 16 series in Korea at the earliest
The iPhone 16 series has the largest market share in the Korean market after Samsung. However, Apple usually launches new iPhone models in Korea a few weeks later. This situation led to the dissatisfaction of Korean Apple users.
This time, in the Chinese market due to decrease in demand Apple is considering releasing the iPhone 16 series early in Korea. If these claims are true, Korea will be one of the launch countries for an iPhone for the first time since the iPhone 3GS in 2009.
According to Counterpoint Research data, Apple’s market share in Korea in the first quarter of 2024 is 24%, while Samsung’s market share is 75%. Every year Apple’s market share increases significantly. Analysts predict that this positive increase will continue for Apple with the release of the new iPhone 16 in September.
According to Canalys data, Apple’s market share in China fell from 16% to 14% in the second quarter of this year. This caused Apple to fall out of the top five smartphone suppliers in China. This decline in the Chinese market may have led Apple to focus more on the Korean market.
So what do you think? How will this strategic move of Apple be received in Korea? Will the new iPhone 16 series meet expectations? You can share your opinions in the comments section below.
