Shipments of new smartphones in the United States in the first quarter of the year dropped 11% versus the same period in 2017, totaling 38.7 million units.

Apple is the strongest performer of the quarter with an increase of 16 percent year-on-year, enough to help Cupertino secure a market share in the United States of 42%. Cupertino now controls no less than 80 percent of the $800+ price category in the smartphone market, the research shows.
Samsung, on the other hand, dropped 4 percent to 22 percent during the quarter, with Counterpoint noting that sales of the Galaxy S9 have been rather slow. An increase is expected this quarter.
