The shipments of Apple iPhones have apparently risen by a notable amount in the first quarter of this year. This growth was observed in the company’s most important region, which is North America.

According to a Canalys report, the Cupertino based giant’s shipments for iPhones were up by nearly 20 percent. In other words, the brand shipped a total of 20 million iPhones in the first quarter of 2022, compared to 17 million units during the same period last year. Furthermore, the company’s market share also hit a whopping 51 percent in the North American market, up from 45 percent in 2021. For those unaware, the North American region has always been a major market for Apple.

The iPhone maker was the number one smartphone brand in NA, followed by Samsung Electronics, which came in second after shipping 10.5 million handsets in Q1 2022. Meanwhile, Lenovo arrived third with 4 million smartphone shipped, while TCL and Google rounded up the top five list with ever fewer shipments. Out of the five companies, Apple, Google, and Lenovo saw a rise in market share during this quarter, while Samsung and various other smaller brands did not see a similar trend.

The report adds that Apple’s growth was thanks to the popularity of the iPhone 13 series, which had launched back in September 2022. Interestingly, the new 5G enabled iPhone SE had also helped boost the sales for the company during this quarter. In total, the North American region saw a total of 39 million smartphone shipments in Q1 2022, which was up by 3.7 percent over Q1 2021. Canalys believes that the region will “maintain healthy supply levels” despite ongoing supply constraints and shortages.

Apple achieves iPhone shipments worth over $50 billion in Q1 2022

Cupertino-based tech giant Apple has reported a massive $50 billion in iPhone shipments for the first quarter of the year. Apple’s iPhone earnings for the first three months of 2022 stood at $50.57 billion, which is a 5.5% improvement from 2021. The current iPhone sales figures are quite remarkable, and Apple CEO, Tim Cook says it was a successful quarter.

The surge in iPhone use is not unconnected with “switchers” – previous Android users who have now switched to using an iPhone. The sales numbers could also indicate a growing demand for the iPhone across several global markets. Apple’s expansion of its customer base could also be due to the production of the more affordable iPhone SE 3 model in addition to the flagships. Apple CEO Cook also says that the company grew switchers by a double-digit rate, reflecting consumer confidence that is picking up after a lull.

On the flipside, iPad sales shrank by 2% to $7.65 billion from the previous year. Cook stated that supply chain challenges were the main reason for declines in iPad sales in the quarter. On the whole, however, Apple’s performance in the quarter was much better than expected. Apple’s services arm also saw a jump in revenues for the first quarter, posting a 17.28% improvement from 2021. The total revenue from the services arm stood at $19.82 billion.

According to CEO Cook, Apple will continue to pursue vigorously its focus on innovation in products and services. He says the company is delighted to see a strong customer response to its new products and its pursuit of a carbon-neutral status by 2030. Due to the strong financials, Apple declared a dividend per share of $0.23 and the board has announced it will authorize a $90 billion share buyback.
