Samsung surpassed Apple to win the championship, and Xiaomi ranked third in global smartphone sales in the third quarter
The global smartphone market showed positive growth in the third quarter of 2024, with shipments climbing 5% year-over-year, marking the fourth consecutive quarter of expansion. This growth was primarily due to strong demand in emerging economies and the early stages of equipment replacement cycles in North America, China, and Europe.
Among them, Samsung is narrowly ahead of Apple with an 18% market share, and Apple ranks second with an 18% market share. Xiaomi, OPPO, and vivo ranked third, fourth, and fifth with 14%, 9%, and 9% market shares, respectively. Analysts pointed out that Apple's shipments in the third quarter of this year reached the highest level in the same period in history, mainly due to the shift in market demand to high-end devices and the replacement cycle of devices purchased during the epidemic, while Apple's measures to improve product diversification also helped it shorten delivery times. The iPhone 16 is expected to help Apple continue its strong growth in 2024.

At the moment, multiple posters have stated that they have successfully connected through some method.
In response to the revelation that the iPhone 16 Pro cannot be connected to Huaqiangbei earphones, the reporter consulted Apple's official customer service as a consumer, and the customer service said that it may be that the firmware version of the headset is not suitable for the iOS 18 system, and it has nothing to do with the mobile phone model, and you can contact Huaqiangbei to upgrade the firmware. Regarding the question of whether Apple has set technical restrictions for pirated products, the customer service said that it has not received relevant notices for the time being.

The Apple Vision Pro pre-owned price plummeted by $1,000
The data shows that the pace of new apps released every month on the Vision Pro has slowed down since its release in January this year. To date, some of the most successful VR software developers have not chosen to tailor their apps for Vision Pro. And because there aren't enough killer apps, many Vision Pro users find the device less useful and choose to sell it, which also causes the price of the Vision Pro in the second-hand market to start to fall......
Over the past few months, the Vision Pro's resale price on the second-hand market has taken a dive. On Swappa, an overseas second-hand electronics trading platform, the Vision Pro, which is officially priced at $3,499, had an average second-hand price of only $2,494 in September, further down from $2,710 in August.

People familiar with the matter say that the "Optimus Prime" prototype can indeed walk through artificial intelligence without external control.
According to people familiar with the matter, Tesla originally had no plans to arrange for the "Optimus Prime" robot to be unveiled at the Robotaxi launch event, but about three weeks ago, Musk asked to include them. The long overdue notice meant there was no time for the software to be upgraded, so it had to be done remotely, the person said. (Global Markets)
