In a dreary smartphone market, Apple Inc. could do something it\u2019s never done before. <\/p>\n

The consumer-electronics giant has a chance to finish the year as the global leader in smartphone shipments for the first time, according to analysts at Counterpoint Research.<\/p>\n

Consumers continue to hold onto their smartphones for longer, one reason why the Counterpoint team expects that overall shipments will fall 6% this year, to 1.15 billion units. That would mark the lowest level in a decade. <\/p>\n

\u201cBut we\u2019re watching [the fourth quarter] with interest because the iPhone 15 launch is a window for carriers to steal high-value customers,\u201d Jeff Fieldhack, Counterpoint\u2019s North America research director, said in a release. <\/p>\n

With a big base of current iPhone 12 owners due for upgrades, \u201cpromos are going to be aggressive, leaving Apple in a good spot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Counterpoint notes that premium smartphones have been picking up share within the market and called out China as a region where that trend holds true. Apple
\n AAPL,
\n +0.28%<\/bg-quote>
\n focuses on the premium market and is expected to debut its next lineup of devices, the iPhone 15 family, in September, and sales likely will begin later that month or in early October.<\/p>\n

Projections from Counterpoint put Apple the closest its ever been to capturing the top spot. \u201cWe\u2019re talking about a spread that\u2019s literally a few days\u2019 worth of sales,\u201d Fieldhack said. \u201cAssuming Apple doesn\u2019t run into production problems like it did last year, it\u2019s really a toss up at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n
