There can never be any sure-shot safe bets in the tech industry. In the dynamic world of technology, today's laggards can suddenly march ahead, leaving the present winners behind. Take the examples of Alphabet (GOOG) (GOOGL) and Apple (AAPL). While dismissed earlier as being the ones who missed the AI train, the tech titans have made a solid comeback, thanks to Gemini 3 and the iPhone 17, respectively.
In fact, Apple is set to ship more phones than Samsung (SMSN.L.EB) in 2025, which is happening for the first time in 14 years. According to Counterpoint Research, Apple's shipments for the year will be 243 million units versus Samsung's count of 235 million units. Further, the firm also revealed that at 24.2% in October, Apple has achieved its highest ever market share.
