Apple, an American IT giant, announced that it will start selling smartphones compatible with the latest communication standard "5G" this month.

With the availability of 5G terminals from major companies, competition among each company is likely to intensify.

Apple held an online recital on the 13th, showing off the latest smartphone "iPhone 12".



There are four models in all, all of which are compatible with the latest communication standard "5G" for the first time, improve the performance of the camera, and can take pictures and videos more clearly.



Of these, the standard size model starts at 85,800 yen in Japan, and reservations will be accepted from the 16th of this month, and it will be released on the 23rd of this month.



Apple announces a new smartphone every year in September, but it seems that this time has been delayed due to the influence of the new coronavirus.



As for 5G compatible smartphones, Sony, Samsung Electronics in South Korea, Huawei in China, and Google in the United States have already been released, and the products of major companies are now available.



As shipments of smartphones are declining due to the global economic downturn caused by the spread of the new coronavirus infection, manufacturers are expecting demand for 5G-compatible models to stimulate demand, and competition is likely to intensify.

What is the share of smartphone companies in the world?

According to IDC, an American research firm, the total number of smartphones shipped worldwide during the three months from April to June was 278.4 million.



Due to the stagnation of economic activity due to the spread of the new coronavirus, it was a significant decrease of 16% compared to the same period of the previous year.



By manufacturer, Huawei ranked first with 20%, Samsung Electronics with 19.5%, and Apple with 13.5%.



As smartphones become more sophisticated and the replacement cycle is becoming longer, the number of shipments tends to be sluggish, and with the influence of the new coronavirus, manufacturers and telecommunications companies are entering the market with 5G compatible models. I want to revitalize it.
