According to most estimates, it had surpassed Apple in terms of sales by a wide margin and the Chinese tech giant was confident that it will become the largest smartphone vendor in the world by the end of the year, beating Samsung in the process. However, it now seems that the company will not even be able to hold on to the second spot. > This prediction comes from DigiTimes, which believes that Apple will reclaim the second spot by the end of the year. So far, Huawei has managed to retain the silver medal but as the effects of the ban start to kick in, shipments will take a hit. The report says that while Huawei devices likely outsold iPhones in the third quarter, the last quarter is when Apple takes its place back.
