After Taking the 5G Lead Next Year, Apple Might Lose Its Grip
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) won't have any 5G smartphones in its lineup until next year, but it's still expected to dominate the market when it does. That's despite the fact that rivals Samsung Electronics and Huawei beat it to the punch with 5G smartphones.
At least that's according to Strategy Analytics, the market research firm that predicted last week the iPhone maker will become a leader in 5G despite its late entry.
"It may seem counterintuitive that Apple, which currently has no 5G phones in its portfolio will be able to pass current 5G market leaders Samsung and Huawei," Ken Hyers, director at Strategy Analytics said in a press release. "But with three new 5G models coming next year, Apple merely needs to match its current upgrade rates for newly introduced iPhone models to take the lead."
