Overall, the plunge in smartphone sales in China reflected the sector’s performance globally
. In 2022, global smartphone shipments hit 1.2 billion, the lowest since 2013 and a year-on-year fall of more than 11 per cent, according to IDC.
A separate report from Canalys published on Monday said that in the fourth quarter of 2022, Apple sold 16.4 million devices, down 24 per cent year-on-year. This compared to a 37.3 per cent shipments slump from Xiaomi and Honor’s 14.1 per cent fall during the same quarter. That marks the first time Apple shipments dropped year-on-year in China since early 2020, when the first wave of COVID-19 swept the country. The fall was caused by an earlier release of the latest iPhone series as well as by worker unrest at its major manufacturer Foxconn’s plant in the city of Zhengzhou that impacted its supply chain, Canalys said.
Still, Apple remained the top-selling phone maker in China in the quarter, hitting record-high market share, Canalys added.Your Globe
