Apple would have lowered the price of its iphone in China

IPhones continue to give Apple headaches. The American company has been forced to reduce their production in this first quarter of the year, due to poor sales. It seems that in an attempt to improve these sales, the prices of the phones have changed in China. In an unusual move on their part, prices have been lowered.

Apple would have lowered the price of its iPhone in China

A large part of the phones would have a lower price. A reduction that comes at a time when the company is going through a bad time in China.

Price drop on iPhones

The models whose price would have been reduced are the iPhone 8, 8 Plus, XR, XS and XS Max. So a large portion of Apple's newest phones get this discount in China. It seems that the most benefited by the discount is the XR, with a discount of 450 yuan, something that is equivalent to $ 66 a change. So it is a fairly clear measure on the part of the firm to obtain better sales on these devices.

This is very unusual for Apple. Especially if we consider that these phones, the new generation, have only been in stores for a couple of months. The last time something like this happened was about 12 years ago.

Tensions between the United States and China, added to the boycott that some companies make of Apple and its products, may be the cause of this reduction in their iPhone. Since the company depends largely on the Chinese market (20% of its income comes from it). Will this measure take effect?
