Apple’s iPhone sales in China surged 52% YoY in April

iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max

According to data from a research firm affiliated the Chinese government, Apple’s smartphone shipments in China rose 52% in April year over year, extending a rebound seen in March.

Reuters:

Shipments of foreign-branded phones in China increased by 52% in April to 3.495 million units from 2.301 million a year earlier, data from the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) showed on Tuesday.

Although the data did not explicitly mention Apple, the company is the dominant foreign phone maker in China’s smartphone market. This suggests that the increase in foreign-branded shipments can be attributed to Apple’s performance.

Sales may see a further boost in May as Apple launched an aggressive discounting campaign this month on its official Tmall site in China, offering discounts of up to 2,300 yuan ($318) on select iPhone models.
