$AAPL Apple's iPhone sales in China declined by 18.2% year-over-year during the December quarter, dropping the company to third place in the market, according to Counterpoint Research. Huawei regained the top position with a 15.5% increase in sales, fueled by the success of its Mate 70 series and mid-range Nova 13 lineup. Apple’s new AI-enabled iPhones struggled to gain traction in China due to the unavailability of key features and the ongoing search for a local AI infrastructure partner. Globally, iPhone sales fell by 5% during the same period, while China's smartphone market experienced its first quarterly decline of 2024, following earlier growth in the year. $AAPL was down 3% today and is now down from a high of $260 in December 2024.
