Phone shipments expected to rebound in 2020
After a couple of few rocky years, 2020 will mark a rebound for phone shipments, according to new projections from Gartner. Next year’s expected growth marks a potential bright spot, owing to upgrade cycles, but device makers should be bracing for slowed growth overall for the next couple of years. Gartner believes the average lifetime of a premium handset will increase from 2.6 to 2.8 years by 2023.
