On other hand, Apple's iPhone shipments grew 11.2% on the year during the April-to-June quarter, according to IDC data, making it the only smartphone maker that saw unit sales increase amid the global pandemic.

Also, some market watchers had expected the company to revamp the model each year to revive sales.
