Abstract
This IDC Survey Spotlight highlights vital results from IDC's 2023 Commercial Smartphone Survey, focusing on current deployment and buying trends in the U.S. commercial smartphone market. The survey was fielded in November of 2023 and included 432 respondents from IT buyers across the United States. In addition, this document examines current preferences toward foldables in the workplace, willingness to adopt foldables, and what brands are most popular within the commercial segment.
"Foldable remains very niche among commercial buyers as IT buyers remain wary of the new technology," said Anthony Scarsella, research director for IDC's Mobile Phone program. "Elevated ASPs compared with standard flagships and questions on build durability continue to make foldables a hard sell in the commercial segment. Moreover, Android remains the only option as we await what Apple plans down the road."
