Apple’s iPhone shipments in China increased by 12% in March, according to data from a Chinese government-affiliated research firm.
Liam Mo and Brenda Goh for Reuters:
Shipments of foreign-branded phones in China increased by 12% in March to 3.75 million units from 3.35 million a year earlier，data from the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) published on Wednesday showed.
Although the data did not explicitly mention Apple, the company is the dominant foreign phone maker in China’s smartphone-dominated market. This suggests that the increase in foreign-branded phone shipments can be attributed to Apple’s performance.

I can’t address the data points. I can only address what our results are. And we did accelerate last quarter, and the iPhone grew in Mainland China. So that’s what the results were. I can’t bridge to numbers we didn’t come up with. – Apple CEO Tim Cook, May 2, 2024
Our iPhone active installed base grew to a new all-time high in total and in every geographic segment… In fact, according to a survey from Kantar, an iPhone was the top-selling model in the U.S., Urban China, Australia, the U.K., France, Germany and Japan. – Apple CFO Luca Maestri, May 2, 2024
