Apple’s new iPhone sales in China surge 20% in first 3 weeks – Counterpoint

iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max feature a 48MP Fusion camera, a 48MP Ultra Wide camera, and the 5x Telephoto camera, now available on both models.

Apple’s new iPhone sales surged 20% in China during initial three weeks year over year, research firm Counterpoint reports.

“We’re seeing strong iPhone 16 series unit sales in China,” Counterpoint said, adding the iPhone 16 Pro and flagship Pro Max models were doing particularly well, with their combined sales rising 44% versus last year’s iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

“Given the smooth production ramp-up, consistent pricing strategy, and the initial wave of upgrades by existing iPhone users, the iPhone 16 series has experienced substantial growth in the Chinese domestic market,” Counterpoint analyst Ivan Lam said. “The product mix has also improved markedly.”

While just a three-week snapshot, the data suggests Apple’s 2024 launch is faring better than last year’s.
