Apple's iPhone shipments in China experienced a slight setback, dropping by 2% in the fourth quarter of last year, as Chinese tech giant Huawei continued to expand its market share. This development highlights the intensified competition in the Chinese smartphone market and the challenges faced by Apple in one of its key markets.
According to data from Canalys, a leading global technology market analyst firm, Apple shipped a total of 15.3 million iPhones in China during the October to December period of 2020. In comparison, Huawei witnessed an impressive growth of 23% by shipping 18.8 million smartphones during the same time frame. This surge in Huawei's market share can be attributed to the company's strong product lineup, marketing strategies, and ongoing efforts to innovate.
