"Apple's iPhone Sales in China Plunge 30% in 2024, Losing Ground to Huawei"

Analysts expect Apple's iPhone sales in China to continue declining through 2024 due to strong interest in Huawei's latest lineup, with a 30% year-on-year decline in iPhone sales in December 2023 and a projected double-digit fall for 2024. Huawei's growth is attributed to its Mate 60 lineup and advanced semiconductor manufacturing capabilities, while Apple's efforts to counter the slump are hindered by discounts and China's ban on iPhones in government offices. Meanwhile, Huawei's comeback is predicted to continue with the development of its own operating system, HarmonyOS, designed to rival iOS and Android.
