EL SEGUNDO, USA: To support media coverage of the Apple Inc.’s fiscal fourth quarter earnings announcement today, iSuppli Corp. is issuing the following fast facts:
* Apple’s iPhone has been gaining share in the global smart phone market in 2009. The iPhone held a 12.1 percent share of global smart phone shipments in the second calendar quarter of 2009, up from 10.1 percent in the first quarter. Although iSuppli hasn’t finalized its third-quarter market share figures, we believe Apple’s share of the smart phone market increased again in the third calendar quarter.
* The iPhone is dramatically outperforming the overall smart phone market. Worldwide smart phone unit shipments are set to rise by 11.6 percent in calendar year 2009 compared to the previous year. In contrast, shipments of iPhones are set to soar by 37 percent in 2009.
* After a weak start to 2009, the global PC market recovered significantly in the third quarter. iSuppli’s preliminary projection of global PC shipments—consisting of desktops, notebooks and entry-level servers—amounted to 73.8 million units in the third quarter, up 9.8 percent from 67.2 million in the second quarter. Despite this sequential rise, third-quarter shipments are estimated to have declined by 6.7 percent from 79.1 million in the third quarter of 2008, based on iSuppli’s preliminary projection. iSuppli plans to issue its final third-quarter PC shipment figures within the next few weeks.
* Apple has been gaining share in the global PC market in 2009. The company's share of global unit shipments rose to 3.7 percent in the second quarter of 2009, up from 3.2 percent in the first quarter, according to a preliminary projection from iSuppli. iSuppli will issue its final second quarter and preliminary third-quarter PC market share figures within the next few weeks.
