Apple’s iPhone 13 tops China’s smartphone sales for six consecutive weeks – The National

Apple was China's top smartphone brand in terms of sales units and revenue for six consecutive weeks to the end of 2021, with the iPhone 13 model surging in popularity because of its relatively low price, according to a new report.

The iPhone 13's new camera and 5G feature helped push it to the top of the market, with initial sales of the mobile phone in the world's second-biggest economy exceeding that of its predecessors, Hong Kong-based industry analysis company Counterpoint Research said in the report.

This has been enough for Apple to fend off major Chinese brands – including Vivo and Oppo – in their own home market, while also benefiting from the US sanctions imposed on market leader Huawei Technologies.
