Bottom Line

Apple is projected to overtake Samsung as the world's top smartphone vendor in 2025 for the first time since 2011, with Counterpoint Research forecasting a 19.4% market share driven by 10% YoY shipment growth. This outlook is supported by strong iPhone 17 demand, particularly in China where Apple captured a 26% share during the Singles' Day festival and single-handedly drove the market's 3% sales growth per Counterpoint. The company's stock reached an all-time high of $280.38, pushing its valuation to $4.12 trillion, as JPMorgan noted increased clarity on CEO succession.

iPhone revenue grew 4% in FY2025 to $209.6B, representing 50% of total sales per the 10-K. Management expects a return to growth in China, which accounted for $64.4B in FY2025 sales, citing strong iPhone reception on the Oct 30 call.
Major Developments
Future iPhone Roadmap Bullish

Apple plans to introduce three new iPhone models within the next three years. Bloomberg reports Apple is preparing iPhone Fold, iPhone 17e, and a special 20th-anniversary model for 2026-2027.

Management called the current lineup the "strongest ever" on the Oct 30 call, driving record Q4 revenue and guiding for double-digit growth.
Risk Factors
Perceived AI Strategy Lag Mixed

Apple's AI strategy has been described as "lackluster" by the CNBC Investing Club, which suggests a "long-delayed conversational Siri" is needed to stimulate an upgrade cycle. This poses a competitive risk if rivals like Samsung are seen as advancing more rapidly in on-device AI.

Management emphasized its AI strategy on the Oct 30 call, highlighting the launch of "Apple Intelligence" powered by on-device models. They confirmed a "significant step-up" in R&D spending for AI, which grew 10% to $34.6B in FY2025 per the 10-K.
