The Chinese number jumped from 17% (2014) to 25% (2015) because the 2014 number did not include China Mobile, which had not added the iPhone to its stable of offerings. It would be interesting to see what the iPhone sales were for China Unicom and China Telecom for 2015 vs 2014.

You are correct. China Mobile & Apple Bring iPhone to China Mobile’s 4G & 3G Networks on January 17, 2014. The numbers would be somewhat non-comparable for this particular three month period as only 2 weeks of China Mobile sales of iPhones would be included from 2014's same period. However, seeing as these are comparing total national market share for China, they are valid.
