Apple smartphone shipments that have reportedly dropped by 20% in  first quarter of 2019 (Q1 2019) are seemingly a result of an aspect where iPhone users held on to ir smartphones for comparatively larger time periods reby potentially inflicting a decline in overall shipments of iPhones.  

As per Counterpoint research, that cites an internal analysis, rate of substituting iPhones is w three years, up from earlier two-year period in which iPhone users apparently typically replaced ir iPhones. reported 20% decline in iPhone shipments also resulted in an overall 8% year-on-year decline in global premium smartphones during Q1 2019.

trend of Apple iPhone users reportedly preferring to use ir handsets for an extended period of time resulting in reverse trend of contributing to declining in overall iPhone shipments during Q1 2019, sounds unconventional, to say least.  

As far as global premium smartphone segment is concerned, Samsung also reportedly me considerable gains and its recent Galaxy S10 smartphones were important.

premium segment is also estimated, by Counterpoint analysts, to grow with increasing penetration of 5G. Here, it is worth remembering that 5G has been going live in multiple countries of world and 5G-compatible smartphones are also increasingly being launched.  

As far as 5G is concerned, upcoming Mobile World Congress in Shanghai (MWC 2019) is hugely expected (by enthusiasts) to witness vent of a new 5G-compatible handset from Vivo. This smartphone could also shore-up global 5G interest.
