Likely that Android does dominate the Chinese market like the rest of the world.
I think a better way to view it is to segment the mobile device market into 3: high, middle and low end; Apple dominates the high-end market segment. iPhones are still largely considered a status symbol in China.
- zwily 9y agoThat doesn't explain why half of Tencent's users use iPhone. Some huge % of Chinese phones must have a Tencent app installed.
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoI'm sure for QQ that isn't true since those users are much more low end. WeChat maybe....but I still find it a bit of a stretch. Maybe they meant half of their revenue rather than market share?
