Global smartphone market grew 3% in Q4

The dispute between the Indonesian authorities and Apple is rumbling on as the smartphone giant apparently remains barred from selling the iPhone 16 in Indonesia despite a recent investment deal.

The Chinese smartphone market experienced 10% growth in the second quarter with units reaching 70.5 million units, and local vendors occupying the top five spots for the first time.

Apple will begin selling iPhones manufactured in India and has revealed plans to open four new retail locations in the country.
