Apple’s share in the country was 12% during the third quarter this year, down one point from a year ago. Cupertino hit is highest share figure during the second quarter of 16%.

The figures show that Samsung likely absorbed LG’s share after their exit.

Meanwhile, South Korea’s smartphone market during the third quarter contracted 9% compared to a year ago due to LG’s exit and the ongoing global chip shortage, the analyst firm said.
