In the Chinese mobile phone market in 2024, Apple does not seem to be doing very well. According to a report by Counterpoint Research, Apple's iPhone sales in China fell 24% year-on-year in the first six weeks of 2024, ranking fourth. Some netizens said that it is likely that Apple's inflection point has arrived!
Specifically, it can be found that Apple is no longer the best-selling mobile phone manufacturer in the Chinese market, and although the iPhone 15 series has been cutting prices this year**, Apple's overall sales have fallen by 24% in the first six weeks. Of course, Apple is not the only one who has declined, and the sales of mobile phones from vivo, Xiaomi, OPPO and other manufacturers have declined to varying degrees.
Among the manufacturers, only Huawei went against the wind at the beginning of this year**, and the sales growth in the first six months reached an astonishing 64%.
Looking at the market share specifically, it can be found that Huawei will increase from 9The market share of 4% has grown all the way to 165%。Apple, on the other hand, fell to 15 percent from 19 percent last year7%, overtaken by Huawei.
Many netizens have believed that the release of the Huawei Mate60 series indicates that Huawei is fully returning, and it is only a matter of time before it returns to the first place in the Chinese market. And now there is indeed this trend, and the sales of Huawei mobile phones are very exaggerated. And Apple seems to have finally ushered in an inflection point after two years without Huawei, at least in the Chinese market.
But then again, it's only been long before 2024, and the high-end battle between Huawei and Apple continues, and then there are Huawei P70 series, Huawei Mate70 series, and Apple's iPhone 16 series.
