Apple’s incomparable iPad lineup posted 6.5% annual growth in mainland China as the company grew its share of tablet market.
Apple held onto first place in the tablet space but its growth slowed to 7%, even as its iPad supply situation improved compared with Q2. Huawei and Lenovo came second and third, but faced a comparatively difficult quarter, both posting double-digit declines as they were hampered by component constraints and a drop in commercial demand for tablets. Fourth-placed HONOR enjoyed 41% growth in Q3, boosted by its Pad 8 series launch. Xiaomi rounded out the top five tablet vendors, posting 15% growth despite making relatively minor upgrades to its newly announced device.
