Oh and that is the US market. In China Apple ain’t so hot and it varies no doubt from country to country.
In China Apple ain’t so hot
—
In China the CCP forbid use of iPhones for government use. Plus the ‘Let it Rot’ movement by young people buys only the cheapest things, even to left over restaurant food. Expensive smart phones are not on their lists.
Actually, Apple is the top dog in the China scramble for market share in the last market share statistics with 17.3% among literally hundreds of makers in the China market. Admittedly that is lower than 2022’s 20.2% top position, but the market overall is down 5% year over year.
