  • Apple
  • Samsung
  • One Plus
  • Oppo

While their Annual product launch event in September, where they launched their new line of iPhones (iPhone 11, iPhone 11 pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max), made the most amount of headlines for them, their campaign on privacy policies and couple of high profile acquisitions also made sure that they create constant buzz in the Media.
