Oh, that was quarterly: https://canalys.com/newsroom/global-smartphone-market-q2-202... On a separate note, speaking of the average lifespan of a phone, I'm fairly sure that with how expensive they're becoming, smartphone lifespans are increasing. Especially with: * hardware performance largely plateauing (not in the absolute sense, that of "this phone can do most of what I need") * the EU pushing for easy battery and screen replacement and also for 7 years of OS updates * the vast majority of phones having cases to protect against physical damage | ||
