Q3 Smartphone Shipments Hit Lowest Level Since 2012
Original: Smartphone Shipments Just Hit Their Lowest Q3 Level Since 2012. AI Is to Blame.
Global smartphone shipments in the third quarter fell to their lowest level for the period since 2012, according to a report attributing the decline largely to the industry's push toward AI features. Analysts suggest consumers are holding off on upgrades, waiting for AI-focused models to mature rather than buying current devices.
Why now: A sharp drop in smartphone shipments signals slowing demand and raises questions about whether AI features are delaying upgrades.
