Looking through the financial statements, comparing the year ago quarter, it appears there was a huge decrease in iPhone sales in China, but significant increases in everything else, everywhere else, which pretty much balanced out. I wonder how much of that was Chinese customers waiting for the new designs this year.
- DeRock 6y agoiPhone release was delayed compared to last year, so obviously demand would be shifted to the next quarter. It doesn’t make sense to compare the 2 quarters for iPhone sales.

They all switched to Samsung once iPhones lost their distinctive profile in the 6S/7 era, then went back into iPhones with the X. I suspect uncertainty about whether WeChat will be available on iPhone could have hurt sales there in the last quarter as well.
- ksec 6y agoThis quarter had no new iPhone release so it doesn't make sense to compare the two. And if my memories serve me correct iPhone 11 did very well in China. It was the iPhone XR, XS that tanked, which was a year earlier.
