Apple (AAPL), which failed to make a mark with the iPhone 16, its first handset with the flagship “Apple Intelligence” features, seems to be making a comeback with its successor, the iPhone 17. Counterpoint Research predicts that the Cupertino-based company will become the world’s biggest smartphone seller in 2025, achieving that feat after a 14-year wait. The firm expects Apple to maintain its lead over the current market leader, Samsung (SMSN.L.EB) for the next four years.
