    Apple Watch to get a fresh look and iPhone takes top spot

    Apple Watch Update

    The Apple Watch is set for a big change with its next software, watchOS 12. It will borrow a style from visionOS, the system used in Apple’s Vision Pro headset. Expect a modern, slightly see-through design with a floating feel.

    Buttons, menus, and icons will look new, and Apple is exploring ideas for a revamped Home Screen. These updates are still in progress, so we don’t know exactly when they’ll arrive. There’s also talk of adding Apple Intelligence features, like smart tools, to the Apple Watch Ultra, though some doubt this since Apple usually shares such features across many devices.

    iPhone Leads the Market

    Apple’s iPhone grabbed the number-one spot in smartphone sales for the first three months of 2025, beating Samsung. The iPhone 16 series, with its new Apple Intelligence tools, drove huge demand. Even with tough competition, Apple sold the most phones globally, while the overall market grew slightly. Other brands like Xiaomi and Oppo also did well, but Apple stayed on top.

    Apple’s iPad still leads the way in tablets

    Apple remains at the forefront of the tablet industry, holding a strong 42.3 percent of the global market in the last quarter of 2024, as per a recent study by Canalys.

    In that period, Apple managed to ship about 16.9 million iPads, an increase from the 14.8 million shipped the year before. Samsung came in second, with approximately 7 million units shipped, which gave them 17.8 percent of the market. Following Samsung, Lenovo, Huawei, and Xiaomi took the third, fourth, and fifth spots.

    Over the entire year of 2024, Apple’s total shipment was around 57 million iPads, capturing 38.6 percent of the market share. This was more than double the number of tablets shipped by Samsung, who managed 27.8 million units.

    In 2024, Apple updated its top-tier iPad Pro with an M4 chip and gave the iPad mini a boost with an A17 Pro chip, while the iPad Air was enhanced with an M2 chip. Looking ahead to 2025, Apple is set to introduce updates to its budget-friendly iPad and give another refresh to the iPad Air.
