Sales of foreign-made smartphones, including Apple’s iPhone, in China continued to rise in June but at a slower pace compared to previous months. According to government data released Monday, shipments increased by 10.9% year-over-year to 2.87 million units. While this represents growth, it’s a sign that the rapid expansion of foreign phone brands in the Chinese market may be starting to level off.

During the month, overall shipments of phones within China increased by 12.5% to 24.91 million handsets, according to the data from the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT).
June’s increase in foreign-branded phone shipments was slower compared to the previous two months, when they surged by more than 40% each month.
Apple is the biggest foreign phone maker in China’s smartphone market, meaning its performance plays a major role in overall data on foreign-branded phone shipments.
