You know, with Huawei being suppressed by the United States, resulting in a serious shortage of high-end chips, so the latest products have no access to 5G networks, which also led apple to take the opportunity to swallow Huawei's previous mobile phone market in large quantities. Coupled with the previously released iPhone 13 series price is lower than in previous years, in this case, Apple's mobile phone in the Chinese market can be described as a full pot, and even return to the first position of sales in the Chinese mobile phone market.
More importantly, Apple is still the top of the global mobile phone sales ranking in 2021, which means that looking at the world, no one can compare with Apple. In addition, the share of iPhones in the Chinese market today has also set a new record held in previous years. After all, Apple's mobile phone occupies a market share of 23% in China, and the last time Apple became the first in China's mobile phone sales list, it was in the era of the launch of the iPhone 6 in 2016. Of course, on the surface, Apple's mobile phone is in the first position in China's mobile phone market, but from the overall data point of view, Apple's mobile phone has shown a significant downward trend in the fourth quarter. Compared with the previous market share, it has fallen by about 9%, and this is already the third consecutive quarter of Apple's continuous decline. This shows that whether Apple can continue to occupy a large share of the Chinese market in 2022 may also be unknown.
In addition, in the current domestic market, in addition to Apple mobile phones, vivo mobile phones occupy 19% of the market share in the second position, while OPPO occupies 17% in the third place, and the fourth is the glory mobile phone that was previously separated from Huawei. It is not difficult to see that the market share occupied by domestic mobile phones can be said to be closely following Apple, especially vivo mobile phones, and the market share gap between Apple mobile phones is not large. This also means that Apple wants to take advantage of the price after the release of the iPhone 13, so that domestic mobile phones are at a disadvantage. However, from the current performance of domestic mobile phones, Apple seems to be difficult to laugh to the end, because domestic mobile phone manufacturers have long recognized Apple's conspiracy, so they can gradually recover the disadvantage. This is not good news for Apple, after all, Cook has regained the Chinese market sales list this year, and after the top position, Apple has returned to the position of global sales champion. Now it seems that in 2022, Apple may really have to verify the previous sentence of the outside world, although Apple won the position of global sales champion in 2021, but it may not still be able to sit at the top of the list in 2022.
Because both domestic mobile phones and South Korea's Samsung are eyeing Apple's position, even if Apple becomes the world's first company to reach a market value of three trillion US dollars, for domestic mobile phones, Apple may not be able to laugh to the end. However, from the current performance of Apple's mobile phone, it seems to really verify the sentence "still thirteen spices". Therefore, Apple can regain a large number of Chinese markets, and even once refreshed the previous record.
Of course, for China, as long as domestic mobile phones continue to develop, then the future will certainly be able to get good results. The reason why there is a gap with Apple is completely normal image, after all, for domestic mobile phones, starting is indeed later than Apple, and it is not easy to have such achievements as today. Therefore, we should give a certain amount of time for the development of domestic mobile phones, and believe that in the future, domestic mobile phones will certainly be able to hand over a satisfactory answer sheet to the Chinese people.
