Apple followed with 20%, up from 17%, while Xiaomi fell from 14% to 12%, OPPO from 12% to 11%, and vivo from 9% to 8%.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1638\" height=\"1043\" src=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/07\/omdia-q2-2026-2.jpg?quality=82&#038;strip=all\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1060692\" srcset=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/07\/omdia-q2-2026-2.jpg 1638w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/07\/omdia-q2-2026-2.jpg?resize=155,99 155w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/07\/omdia-q2-2026-2.jpg?resize=655,417 655w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/07\/omdia-q2-2026-2.jpg?resize=768,489 768w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/07\/omdia-q2-2026-2.jpg?resize=1024,652 1024w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/07\/omdia-q2-2026-2.jpg?resize=1536,978 1536w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/07\/omdia-q2-2026-2.jpg?resize=350,223 350w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/07\/omdia-q2-2026-2.jpg?resize=140,89 140w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/07\/omdia-q2-2026-2.jpg?resize=1570,1000 1570w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/07\/omdia-q2-2026-2.jpg?resize=150,96 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1638px) 100vw, 1638px\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, a preliminary report from Omdia (via MacMagazine) points to the same overall trend, although its estimates differ slightly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Omdia puts Samsung at 22%, up from 20% in Q2 2025, followed by Apple at 20%, up from 16%. Xiaomi declined from 15% to 11%, OPPO from 12% to 10%, and vivo from 9% to 8%.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s Omdia on Apple\u2019s performance for the quarter:<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apple delivered its best second-quarter performance ever, capturing a record-high 20% market share during what traditionally is its slowest quarter of the year. The iPhone 17 series delivered one of the strongest iPhone refresh and upgrade cycles in Apple\u2019s history. Apple also benefited from stable pricing while most competitors were forced to raise their pricing. However, as Apple raised pricing across other products towards the end of 2Q, a key question remains to what extent iPhones might be impacted by similar hikes later this year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unsurprisingly, Omdia said the ongoing memory crisis contributed to a 4% year-over-year decline in overall shipments, making Q2 2026 the market\u2019s weakest quarter since Q2 2023.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1013\" src=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/07\/omdia-q2-2026.jpg?quality=82&#038;strip=all\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1060691\" srcset=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/07\/omdia-q2-2026.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/07\/omdia-q2-2026.jpg?resize=155,87 155w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/07\/omdia-q2-2026.jpg?resize=655,369 655w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/07\/omdia-q2-2026.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/07\/omdia-q2-2026.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/07\/omdia-q2-2026.jpg?resize=1536,864 1536w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/07\/omdia-q2-2026.jpg?resize=350,197 350w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/07\/omdia-q2-2026.jpg?resize=140,79 140w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/07\/omdia-q2-2026.jpg?resize=1600,900 1600w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/07\/omdia-q2-2026.jpg?resize=150,84 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Omdia also warned that the sharpest shipment declines are still to come:<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We anticipate the sharpest volume declines to hit in the upcoming two quarters, where normal seasonal demand peaks&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/07\/13\/second-report-says-apple-posted-its-strongest-ever-q2-for-iphone-shipments-amid-market-downturn\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Second report says Apple posted its strongest-ever Q2 for iPhone shipments https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/07\/13\/second-report-says-apple-posted-its-strongest-ever-q2-for-iphone-shipments-amid-market-downturn\/ Publish Date: 2026-07-13&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":289164,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/02\/Two-reasons-helped-Apple-hit-record-iPhone-sales-and-theyre-both-orange.jpg?resize=1200%2C628&quality=82&strip=all&ssl=1","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[120],"tags":[80],"class_list":["post-289163","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-iphone","tag-iphone-17"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289163"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=289163"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289163\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":289165,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289163\/revisions\/289165"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/289164"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=289163"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=289163"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=289163"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
