Report: Xiaomi already lost its second-place status on the global market

Credit: Calvin Wankhede / Android Authority Xiaomi earned a second-place slot in the global smartphone market last quarter. Now, one outlet says the company has already lost that status to the usual second-place holder Apple. Samsung is still far and away the leader, though.

Image
Faux record, vraie manipulation ? – Le secteur en pleine expansion des tokens non fongibles (NFT), voit parfois des records de prix hallucinants. La série des CryptoPunks, créée en 2017, fait partie des NFT qui s’arrachent le plus, à tel point que même le géant des cartes bancaires Visa en a acheté un .
