    It’s more surprising that Apple ever held the top spot in China. There’s like what… 50-100 million people with the disposable income to justify an iPhone, and probably 500+ million people who would go with a local manufacturer?

      The middle class in China is larger than the middle class in the US. The number of poor is also larger. But it is no longer a nation of poor people.

      iPhone is a status symbol everywhere you go. Many I see rather using old af ip7-8 instead if using a new midrange one.
