If the situation in China is similar to the situation in Brazil, then it is not a surprise Apple products aren't successful there.
Apple services here are very poorly supported and localized, and Apple products are too expensive compared to the relative benefit we would receive.
Why would you purchase a significantly more expensive device, with worse features, that sometimes don't work at all?
We still haven't gotten turn by turn directions in Apple Maps, for example.

- siproprio 9y agoYou're comparing the prices of only 2 android phones, when there are a lot more models available. None of these two phones are very popular in my country or in China. The most popular devices here are mid-end Android phones, like the Moto G series phones. Furthermore, what is supposed to differentiate Apple is its software, because hardware is a commodity. Being "the fastest" doesn't appeal much to costumers as compared to price, and to the default software experience.
- btian 9y agoYeah I guess it makes sense for people who are not rich. Mid-end phones don't appeal to me at all.
