iPhone Sales Declined 11.8% in Q4 2018 [Report]

Apple iPhone sales declined an estimated 11.8% year over year in Q4 2018, according to Gartner. Apple stopped report units sold last quarter but if Gartner's numbers are correct, that would be the company's worst quarterly decline since 1Q16.

Global smartphone sales for the quarter are estimated at 408.4 million units, growth of just 0.1% year over year.

“Demand for entry-level and midprice smartphones remained strong across markets, but demand for high-end smartphones continued to slow in the fourth quarter of 2018,” said Anshul Gupta, senior research director at Gartner. “Slowing incremental innovation at the high end, coupled with price increases, deterred replacement decisions for high-end smartphones. This led to a flat-growth market in the fourth quarter of 2018 (see Table 1).”
