Apple returned to China's top 5 smartphone sellers last quarter-but Huawei's growth dwarfs the competition
Briefly

Arthur Guo, a senior research analyst with IDC China, stated, 'A significant wave of device upgrades is propelling the sustained recovery of the Chinese smartphone market.' This shift indicates that consumers are eager to invest in new devices despite broader economic challenges that persist in the market.
Will Wong, senior research manager at IDC's Asia-Pacific client devices group, remarked, 'Huawei's double-digit growth was again supported by its premium image and the buzz it created with its tri-foldable phone.' This highlights how innovative product offerings can rejuvenate consumer interest and drive sales.
According to preliminary data from IDC, Chinese smartphone shipments increased by 3.2% year-on-year to reach 68.8 million units in the last quarter, illustrating a notable recovery in demand for smartphones amid economic difficulties.
Apple has managed to reclaim its position in the top five smartphone manufacturers in China, now holding a 15.6% market share. Despite a slight decline of 0.3% in shipments last quarter, the company's return signifies its enduring brand appeal and market resiliency.
