Also, we saw earlier that the number of customers without a 5G iPhone is even higher.\nAs a result, it is not surprising to see why Apple's sales in 2022 are expected to be better, as per Credit Suisse estimates. The investment bank expects Apple to move 237 million units next year as compared to an estimated 234 million in 2021. In 2023, iPhone shipments are expected to jump to 249 million units.\nMore importantly, Apple's shipment growth in the 5G era can continue beyond the next two years as global 5G mobile subscriptions are expected to hit 3.36 billion in 2026, up from an estimated 569 million this year, as per Ericsson. This massive growth will be driven by 5G network rollouts in more markets in Latin America, the Middle East, Europe, and North America.\nSo, if Apple continues to hold a strong 5G market share on account of its massive installed base and a budget-friendly device that could appeal to a wider audience in price-conscious markets, it can keep winning big in 5G smartphones in the long run. The iPhone 13 will play an important role in that regard, as it can encourage upgrades and bring more users into the Apple ecosystem because of the improvements it packs. That's a solid reason why investors should continue holding this 5G stock, as it now has a new growth driver to count on.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AAPL":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1511,"commentLimit":10,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"symbols":[],"verified":2,"subType":0,"readableState":1,"langContent":"EN","currentLanguage":"EN","warmUpFlag":false,"orderFlag":false,"shareable":true,"causeOfNotShareable":"","featuresForAnalytics":[],"commentAndTweetFlag":false,"andRepostAutoSelectedFlag":false,"upFlag":false,"length":8,"xxTargetLangEnum":"ORIG"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"isTiger":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"url":"/m/post/860400866"}
