China's iphone sales fell in the last quarter of 2018

Apple is not having a good time in terms of the sales of its iPhone. Furthermore, to make matters worse, the American firm faces many problems in China, with a boycott of many companies included. So it was a crying secret that their sales in the last quarter of 2018 were not going to be good. Something that has been demonstrated with the figures that have already been revealed.

IPhone sales in China fell in the last quarter of 2018

In the last quarter of 2018 they sold 10.9 million smartphones. While in the same period of 2017, 14 million units were sold. Bad figures for Apple.

IPhones don't sell well

It is not something that can only be accused of iPhones. Because the smartphone market in China has had a bad 2018, with a drop in sales of 12%, according to the latest figures. So the absolute majority of brands have sold less in the country. Only Huawei has had a real sales rise in the country, reaffirming its dominant position in China.

But for Apple, the situation is still worrying. They have seen their phones lose presence in China, which was one of the key markets of the American firm. In addition, the bad relations of the Asian country with the United States do not help the firm either.

The new generation of iPhone has not met the expectations in terms of sales. This is something that can already be affirmed. At the moment, production has been reduced and in China there are discounts on its price. This may help give your sales a little boost.
