Xiaomi passes Apple to become the #2 smartphone vendor

As the article points out, the real top 3 is:<p>1. BBK (Oppo, Vivo, OnePlus, and Realme)<p>2. Samsung<p>3. Xiaomi

I wonder if the longer usable life of Apple phones works against them in these metrics.<p>We are now seeing consistent 5 year usage out of iPhones for those that don’t chase the newest colors.
