As an avid follower of the tech industry, I can't help but marvel at Apple's unprecedented achievement in 2023. For the first time ever, Apple has managed to outsell every other smartphone manufacturer, including the long-reigning Samsung. This is no small feat, especially considering the renewed competition from Huawei and the overall soft spending sentiment in the market. Apple's climb to the top spot is nothing short of a tremendous success.

But let's not forget the other players in the game. The 'other' category, which includes brands like Transsion and Xiaomi, grew by 19% year-over-year, stealing market share from almost all top vendors except Apple. This indicates a significant shift in consumer preferences towards premium devices, a trend that Apple has capitalized on with aggressive trade-in offers and interest-free financing plans.

However, this victory is not without its controversies. While Apple enjoys its moment in the sun, it's worth noting that the overall smartphone market declined by 3.2% in 2023, hitting a decade low. This raises questions about the sustainability of Apple's growth in a shrinking market. Moreover, the intense competition within the Android space, with brands like OnePlus, Honor, and Google launching competitive devices, adds another layer of complexity to Apple's success story.

So, is Apple's triumph a sign of its unparalleled innovation and market strategy, or is it merely a temporary win in a volatile market? Only time will tell, but one thing is clear: the battle for smartphone supremacy is far from over.

So, club Mahindra in their ad claims dads with club Mahindra membership are the best. 

how is this not a problematic ad? You’re targeting children and forcing them to demand club Mahindra memberships from their dad ? Else they are not best papa? My gosh what a pathetic ad. 

How is their brand team okay with it.
