iPhone 17 Set to Propel Record Apple Shipments in 2025, Says IDC
IDC projects Apple will ship a record 247.4 million iPhones in 2025, a 6 % YoY rise driven by strong demand for the iPhone 17, especially in China where shipments could jump 17 % in Q4. The surge may enable Apple to out‑ship Samsung for the first time in 14 years and boost services revenue via new AI‑centric features. Supply‑chain partners Foxconn and Pegatron have expanded capacity, though a possible delay of the iPhone 18 could trim 2026 volumes.
