Apple's breakthrough: iPhone 17 propelled the company into India's top 5 brands amid record demand

Apple entered the top five smartphone brands in India by shipment volume in the third quarter of this year for the first time, according to Counterpoint Research. The results show that the new iPhone 17 series is demonstrating significant sales growth in India compared to previous models, indicating that Apple is successfully consolidating its position in this important market.

An important component of the iPhone 17's success is its high demand, which exceeds that of similar models in the Chinese market, where the base version of the iPhone 17 has gained popularity thanks to its attractive features. However, competition in the US is intensifying with the introduction of the Google Pixel 10, whose sales rose 28% in September, a record for that month.

The iPhone 17's performance indicates that Apple maintains a strong position in the premium smartphone segment, even despite growing competition from Google, which is actively promoting its products. The further development of the battle for mobile device users promises to be interesting, and Apple is likely to control its strategies to maintain competitiveness.
