Googilng "iPhone 6s sales in China" brought a 50/50 mix of good and bad headlines, all fairly recent (~Oct). Looks like a VERY mixed bag of interpretation.

So what you asserted is true but incomplete. Some people are disappointed with the numbers, but others are happy with the same numbers.

I don't know enough to call only the happy ones fools, as you appear to be doing.

I'm just speculating, but it's apparent that somewhere along the way somebody predicted much better sales figures than they're seeing or they wouldn't be having to cut back on the production schedule. China has become their biggest market, but by all the accounts I've seen their economy is going through a period of contraction and I'd expect that to affect sales of what I'd think would be a substantial luxury item for the average Chinese.

Like I said, I'm just speculating and I'd be open to any other explanation that makes more sense.
