Foreign-branded mobile phone sales in China, primarily Apple’s iPhones, slightly increased in April, per data from a government-affiliated research firm released Friday.
Reuters:
Calculations based on the data from the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) showed that April shipments of foreign-branded phones in China rose to 3.52 million units from 3.50 million a year earlier.
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.
MacDailyNews Take: Basically flat, but good news nonetheless, except for the Chicken Littles. Certainly an improvement from the first quarter in which Apple’s phone sales in China dropped 9%, according to CAICT.
