"Apple is back at the top of the smartphone market after three quarters, driven by incredible performance from the iPhone 13," said a senior analyst at research firm Canalys.

He added: "Apple has introduced unprecedented sales of the iPhone in China, with aggressive pricing for its flagship devices."

The report also shows that smartphone sales around the globe grew by a single percentage point during the same period, as the various vendors once again faced supply chain problems - alongside a shortage of chips - due to a re-emergence of Corona virus.
