It's hard to draw strong conclusions here because China's launch was bumped up 2 weeks from 2014 which put them into the September quarter (+22% growth). Granted that's only a week of prior quarter but they sold 13 million phones that week. If you move 3-4 million phones for China launch from prior quarter to holiday and suddenly growth in the holiday quarter doesn't look all that anemic (or the previous quarter as spectacular). The revenue growth for the two quarters combined is 9.2%.
