Xiaomi marked an impressive year-on-year growth of 42%, propelling it to the third spot for the first time against Apple. The company was able to ship a total of 46.5 million devices and along with it, a 13.1% market share globally.
Apple
Apple iPhone 12 Pro
The iPhone maker shipped a total of 41.6 million iPhones in the third quarter, down 10.6% over last year. This resulted in the company slipping to the fourth spot on the list for the first time with 11.8% share.
