According to the latest report from the US market research firm Gartner, the competition between Apple and Microsoft, the two US technology giants, on smart devices will change in 2017. That is, the smart device using the Apple operating system (iOS/macOS) will be expected to exceed the smart device using the Microsoft (Windows) operating system for the first time in 2017. According to the report, after surpassing Microsoft in 2017, Apple will further expand its lead in 2018 and 2019. According to Gartner, in 2016, shipments of various smart devices worldwide were 2.3 billion units. Among them, Google Android ranked first with absolute advantage, while Microsoft Windows accounted for 260 million units, with a market share of 11.2%. In third place, it is a smart device equipped with Apple iOS and macOS. In 2016, shipments were 248 million units, with a market share of 10.7%. However, due to weak sales of the iPhone in 2016, shipments were reduced by approximately 10% from 2015. And this situation will change in 2017, Gartner expects that smart devices equipped with Apple's Apple operating system (iOS/macOS) will have a combined market share of 8%, totaling 268 million units. In 2018, it will grow by 3% to 276 million units. In 2019, it increased by 3%, reaching a total of 285 million units. As for Microsoft's Windows smart devices, shipments in 2017 will decrease, and growth will stagnate in the next two years. According to the report, shipments of Windows smart devices in 2017 were approximately 252 million units (mostly PCs), a decrease of 3% from the previous year. It was 253 million units in 2018 and 257 million units in 2019. Microsoft led Apple's shipments of 12 million units in 2016, but Apple is expected to reverse AMD's 27 million units in 2019. However, Gartner also expects that almost all smart devices will have a poor outlook in the future, and shipments in 2017 will be the same as in 2016, and will not resume growth until after 2018. Rartjit Atwal, an analyst at Gartner, said that mobile phone shipments only grew in emerging markets in Asia Pacific, while the PC market just bottomed out. Among them, the performance of the PC market is weak, and the impact on Microsoft is the most serious. Because the Microsoft Windows operating system relies almost entirely on PC shipments. In addition, Microsoft will withdraw from the smartphone market in 2016, and shipments in the future will be further affected. Gartner estimates total PC shipments in 2016 to be 268 million units, a 7% contraction from 2015. Unlike the October 2016 forecast, it is now expected that shipments of PC equipment will fall again in 2017, a further 0.7% decrease from 2016 to 266 million units, and the overall performance will not be until two years later. it has been improved. Among them, shipments in 2018 increased to 272 million units, and in 2019, they increased to 278 million units. However, the market size of less than 300 million units will become the norm in the market. 3.7V Lithium Battery,Rechargeable Battery Pack,consumer rechargeable battery Shenzhen Jentc Technology Co., LTD , https://www.phenyee.com
