iPhone 11 helped the Apple company to avoid disaster this fall, the new series of phones registering such good sales that the Americans managed to somewhat keep up appearances. We are now talking about China, a market where Apple's phone sales fell by 28% in Q3 2019 compared to Q3 2018, but the drop would have been substantially higher if the iPhone 11 series had not been launched, with double sales compared to the iPhone XS.
iPhone 11 helped Apple with very good sales in China in Q3 2019, and that's because its very good price convinced some Chinese to forget about nationalism and buy American phones. It seems that until the launch of the iPhone 11, the Chinese preferred to put nationalism first, and avoid buying Apple products, instead preferring to buy those sold by Huawei.
iPhone 11 Helped Apple AVOID DISASTER This Fall
iPhone 11 somehow stopped the boycott of Apple products in China, but if this series of phones had not been successful, then Apple's phone sales would have registered a huge increase in the country. While Apple's sales fell by 28% in China, Huawei recorded a 66% increase, and this helped the company to remain at the top of the global manufacturers, over Apple, before the iPhone 11 was launched on the market.
“Apple maintained the number five position, thanks to the immediate boost of iPhone 11 releases in September, which accounted for nearly 40% of its Q3 shipments. Huawei extended its market lead by shipping 41,5 million smartphones to reach a record 42% market share, a year-on-year increase of 66%. This is Huawei's sixth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth amid a dark Chinese market."
Analysts estimated in May that iPhone sales in China could drop by 50% due to Donald Trump's war with the Chinese government, but the iPhone 11 limited the impact of the disaster. Even with an iPhone 11 that sells very well, the Apple company will continue to have very big problems in the Chinese market, and this is because there is extremely high competition from local manufacturers, but also a negative feeling due to the sanctions imposed on Huawei .
iPhone 11 is now selling the best of all three models in the series, while iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max also had reduced production by Apple.
