IPhone sales have fallen for the first time, as the global smartphone market grew at its slowest rate in eight years. 目前全球智能手机市场发展速度呈现八年来最低，而苹果手机销量也首次出现了下滑现象。 Sales of Apple's high-end smartphones suffered their first ever year-on year decline of 4.4 per cent, according to market analyst Gartner. 据市场分析机构高德纳公司称，相比去年同期，苹果高端智能手机的销量首次下降了4.4%。 South Korean rival Samsung market share also slipped throughout the year to 22.5 per cent, a decline of 2.2 per cent, but was enough to maintain its position as the world's most popular smartphone vendor. In total, Samsung shipped around 320 million units throughout 2017 globally, compared to Apple's 225 million - some 15.9 per cent of the market. 作为苹果公司的劲敌，韩国三星电子公司2017全年的市场份额同样下跌至了22.5%，减幅为2.2%，尽管如此，却也不影响三星成为世界上最受欢迎的智能手机供应商。2017年三星手机全球销量总计达3.2亿台，而苹果手机销量仅为2.25亿台，约占据世界手机市场的15.9%。 |
