iPhone Shipments Crash 50% in China as Local Brands Dominate

[I7guy]

I’m not Chinese however various different nations prioritize their own products over others like Australia does with food.

Apple are a US company and so is google
So why would the us government tell its citizens to buy apple products over another us company

No I said all countries prioritize products

So basically you can’t point to any one factor while saying there are multiple factors including some govt intervention that caused a sales drop. That’s all that needed confirming.

I’ll add govt intervention. Clearly a mix of opinions of which the above list is, with many opinions as to what maybe the root cause.

Maybe just maybe
A lot of customers don’t value what apple are offering in china
I know that might be difficult for some to comprehend

For some consumers the value to price ratio isn’t favoring Apple for it to go down to third. But consumers are fickle and sometimes MR posters dont see that and the tide can turn for any company at any time.

Not when you have a customer base
That says we are under attack by governments & courts & epic etc
So it’s very unlikely going to turn in the west at the current time
However it is difficult in china

One doesn’t know how anything will turn out. Governments get things wrong, they lose court cases, etc. We will see where this goes but as I said above dont count any chickens.

I don’t get what this pissing contest is about. It’s largely a matter of personal preference. If I trusted the Android OS, I never would’ve switched years ago. You can lay some blame at each government steps.. but of course if you’re a government you want them to use the devices your country’s companies produce. I think that’s a non-issue. There’s many subtle and less subtle ways to do so.
