Sales of foreign-branded mobile phones in China, including Apple, dropped 9.7% year-on-year in May, according to data from a government-affiliated research firm released on Friday.
Reuters:


Calculations based on the data from the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) showed that May shipments of foreign-branded phones in China fell to 4.54 million handsets from the same month last year.
As the largest foreign mobile phone maker in China’s smartphone-dominated market, Apple’s performance plays a significant role in the overall data on foreign-branded phone sales in the country… The CAICT data did not give specific figures for Apple.
Shipments of phones within China were down 21.8% year-on-year to 23.72 million handsets for the month, the data showed.


MacDailyNews Take: Apple’s iPhone sales in China increased by 8% in Q2, marking the first growth since Q2 2023, which includes the month of May, per Counterpoint Research. More info here.
