0HarmonyOS Surpasses iOS in China for the First Time!
Hey everyone, we've got some groundbreaking news in the tech world! 🌟 According to data from Counterpoint Research, Huawei's HarmonyOS has achieved an incredible milestone in the Chinese market—it's officially surpassed Apple's iOS for the first time ever! 📈🔥
In the first quarter of 2024, HarmonyOS skyrocketed to become the second-largest mobile operating system in China, with an impressive 17% market share. That's a significant leap from just 8% in Q1 2023. Meanwhile, iOS saw a slight decline from 20% to 16% over the same period.
This marks the first time since 2019 that iOS has seen a drop in market share during the first quarter in China. And what's driving HarmonyOS's success? Well, Huawei's new 5G smartphones are shaking up the competition, going head-to-head with Apple's products and winning over consumers.
But here's the kicker—HarmonyOS isn't just dominating in China. Globally, its market share doubled year-on-year, hitting 4% in Q1 2024, while Android and iOS saw minor declines. Android, however, bounced back month-on-month in Q1 2024, while iOS dipped from 23% to 19%, likely due to the usual fluctuations with iPhone releases.
One of HarmonyOS's key strengths? Its strong adoption of 5G technology, which has surged from 9% to a whopping 50% in just one year! With Huawei focusing on localizing its supply chain, this trend is expected to continue, according to Counterpoint.
These findings echo a forecast report by TechInsights, which predicted back in January 2024 that HarmonyOS would surpass iOS and become the second-largest smartphone operating system in China by the end of the year.
