Impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

The overall number of smartphones shipped in Q1 2020 fell to just ***** million, the lowest volume since Q2 2013. While all manufacturers suffered a dip, Apple smartphone shipments saw the greatest decline. However, in Q4 Apple shipped more smartphones than any other vendor, with over ** million shipments out of the total smartphone shipments of *** million shipments. Economic factors influencing end users, the closure of physical stores, and lack of availability also led to a drop in the number of smartphones sold to end users. However, smartphone sales to end users recovered in the last quarter of 2020 too.
