The big picture: The top five smartphone vendors in terms of global shipment volume have remained the same throughout the third quarter of 2019. Apple is registering a noticeable but not unexpected decline in sales, as people are looking for value-oriented options and possibly holding out for 5G-ready iPhones that are expected to kickstart the next smartphone "supercycle" in 2020.

By now, it's no longer a secret that global smartphone demand has plateaued. However, market researchers seem to disagree on the specifics. Gartner says the smartphone market contracted by 0.4 percent in the third quarter of this year, while IDC thinks it actually grew by almost one percent year-over-year.

Samsung still holds the top spot with 79 million smartphones shipped, meaning it grew its market share by around 8 percent. Huawei's position surged by 27 percent, while the other Chinese companies only managed to keep their place on the top five global brands.

According to Gartner, Apple saw a decline in sales of almost 12 percent.
The analysts say Apple sold many refurbished and older iPhone models through its own channels which only helps the company maintain its customer base.

In any case, Apple has reportedly told suppliers that it expects to sell around 100 million iPhone 12s, which might be the first generation to include a 5G modem.

Apple is reportedly telling suppliers to expect in excess of 100 million iPhone 12 orders
5G could spark the next upgrade 'supercycle'

Apple is reportedly expecting a sharp increase in sales of its next-generation iPhone that’s due out in late 2020.

Sources from Taiwan’s supply chain tell Digitimes (paywalled, per 9to5Mac) that Apple is telling manufacturing partners to expect in excess of 100 million orders. By comparison, the current-gen iPhone 11 family is expected to sell around 80 million units.
While things like a refreshed design and a new time-of-flight sensor for augmented reality functions will no doubt be alluring, the real key to 2020 iPhone sales will be the inclusion of a 5G modem chip.

It’ll be interesting to see if Apple rolls out 5G-specific versions of its next iPhone at a premium or if the entire lineup will ship with 5G modems standard.

Total iPhone shipments in China in the September-November period dropped 7.4% from a year earlier, Credit Suisse analyst Matthew Cabral said, citing data from China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
