Apple briefly broke through the market value of $3 trillion last night, becoming the first company in history to have a market value of more than $3 trillion, and its market value exceeded that of the United Kingdom, which ranks fifth in global GDP, and apple's unprecedented achievements reflect the strength of Huawei's mobile phones.
Apple is the world's first company with a market capitalization of more than $1 trillion, $2 trillion, and $3 trillion, and it took 2 years from $1 trillion to $2 trillion, while it took only 1 year and 5 months from $2 trillion to $3 trillion, or 1 year and 2 months from November 2020 to the present.
As can be seen from Apple's stock price chart, after reaching the top of the stage on August 24, 2020, it began to slowly decline to the low of September 21, 2020, and then began to enter a new stage of the upward channel again, and it was during this time period that Huawei encountered well-known difficulties.
Due to well-known reasons, after September 15, 2020, chip foundries such as TSMC can no longer produce chips for Huawei, and mobile phone chip companies such as Qualcomm and MediaTek are not allowed to supply mobile phone chips to Huawei (Qualcomm was later allowed to supply 4G chips to Huawei but 5G chips are still not allowed), which provides Apple with a new round of development opportunities.
Because Huawei can only rely on limited chip inventory and Qualcomm's supply of 4G chips to operate, Huawei's mobile phone shipments began to decline rapidly from Q4 2020, and by Q2 2021, it has fallen to the eighth place in the world, while a year ago in Q2 2020 it has ascended to the position of global mobile phone boss, and its status has changed dramatically in one year.
With the decline of Huawei's mobile phones, Apple, Samsung and other Chinese mobile phone companies have increased their share of the global mobile phone market, but Huawei has given up almost all of the high-end mobile phone market share by Apple. According to the data of Q1 in 2021, Apple achieved 94% growth in the Chinese mobile phone market, while Huawei and Apple almost equally divided the Chinese high-end mobile phone market, and Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei's consumer business, lamented that the domestic high-end mobile phone market that Huawei gave up was almost all seized by Apple.
In the global market, counterpoint also gave a similar conclusion, the data given by the market research agency shows that in Q2 2020, Apple, Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO respectively accounted for 48%, 22%, 17%, 4%, 2% of the high-end mobile phone market share; in 2021 Q2 their market share became 57%, 17%, 6%, 6%, 4%, the comparison can be seen that most of the high-end markets given by Huawei have been seized by Apple.
After the decline of Huawei mobile phones, although Xiaomi and OPPO also seized part of the high-end mobile phone market, the market share they won was still quite limited, far from being able to compare with Huawei, and Samsung also declined, apple's share in the high-end mobile phone market was close to 60%, proving Huawei's strong competitiveness in the high-end mobile phone market.
In 2021, after Apple held an autumn conference to release the iPhone 13, Apple is even more imposing in the mobile phone market, Chinese consumers have snapped up the iPhone 13, in October and November 2021 Apple won the first place in the Chinese mobile phone market, which is the first place in the Chinese mobile phone market for the second time after 6 years, compared with Huawei's previous market share in the Chinese mobile phone market.
The industry expects that in December 2021, Apple will still be the first place in the Chinese mobile phone market, and apple will be the first place in the Chinese mobile phone market and the first place in the global mobile phone market in the fourth quarter of 2021, which can be seen that the decline of Huawei's mobile phone has benefited Apple a lot, and Apple's excellent performance in the mobile phone market is the key to its market value exceeding $3 trillion, and this does not reflect that only Huawei has the strength to compete with Apple in China's mobile phone companies?
