CHina surpasses the US as the largest iphone market

[esolve]

UBS says sales in China drove iPhone sales to new heights.

"Recent data suggests that iPhone demand saw outsized growth in China, even finding that China could constitute as much as 35% of shipments in the quarter compared with 22% a year ago," said UBS analyst Steven Milunovich.

That would make China the number-one market for iPhones.

UBS says around 24% of iPhone shipments last quarter were to the U.S. A year ago, that number was 29%, and the U.S. was the top market for iPhones.

Apple saw incredible iPhone pre-orders from China last fall, partially because the country's largest carrier began selling it.

Analysts expect strong iPhone demand in China into this spring, particularly for the iPhone 6 Plus.

Chinese worship US products, what a shame!

The good news is that this shows how the purchasing power
of the Chinese consumer is going up in leaps and bounds.

well, we have the population and with even 10% of population buying Iphone would be enough to make us the biggest iphone market```

Who say there is no domestic market in China? iPhone being a foreign brand smartphone but is made in China. Part of the money will still return back to China

Now iphone's survival depends on the Chinese consumers.

There is nothing much to be proud of other than an indication of our increasing purchasing power up in the consumption chain really.

Out of the orders that we are processing for iPhone, only a disgracefully small portion of the sales value goes to China and much lesses to the workers

Not at all impressed. I still don't understand why people even buy iPhones. The over priced phone. You can't do much with ios. Is it the brand? For one, I'd never buy an iPhone. If you ask me why, then I'd say why would I pay for a plastic which comes in a much lower price. Similar plastic, different price.
