Apple is back on top, having shipped the most smartphones out of any maker in Q4 last year. Previously, the company regained second place in Q3, now it has overtaken Samsung to secure the #1 spot. This is all thanks to the strong performance of the iPhone 13 series, of course.

In fact, analysts from Canalys called iPhone shipments in Mainland China “unprecedented”. Apple’s supply chain is recovering, but it still couldn’t produce enough iPhones to meet the demand, so it had to prioritize some markets over others.

The Cupertino-based company isn’t the only one struggling with supply. Canalys warns that the major foundries will take years to expand its chip production capacity. This is why smartphone makers have increasingly had to look for new suppliers and to rebalance their product lineups to focus on the best-selling models.
