Does Apple still dare to squeeze toothpaste? Xiaomi's mobile phone sales soared by 38%, becoming the first in China, and Huawei's king is back

Fast Technology reported on January 9 that according to the latest data from authoritative institutions, the top three activations in China's mobile phone market in the fourth quarter of 2023 are Apple, Xiaomi, and Huawei.

Specifically, Apple has 15,011,600 activations, Xiaomi has 11,802,100 activations, and Huawei has 11,465,700 activations.

Among all mobile phone manufacturers, Xiaomi and Huawei have the strongest share growth, Xiaomi ranked first in domestic phone sales from November to December, and stood first among domestic brands in the fourth quarter.

It is worth mentioning that Apple's activation in December is only 0.18% more than Xiaomi's, if this year's iPhone 16 series has no blockbuster innovations and continues to "squeeze toothpaste", then Apple's first position in China may be surpassed by Xiaomi and Huawei.

It is understood that Xiaomi's standing first among domestic brands is inseparable from the hot sales of the Xiaomi 14 series.

The sales volume of the Xiaomi 14 series has exceeded one million units in the first sales period, and the sales volume within 5 minutes of sales is 6 times the total sales volume of the Xiaomi 13 series, achieving leapfrog growth.

In particular, the Xiaomi 14 standard version has strong product power and reputation, allowing Xiaomi to rank first in domestic production in November and December.

Lei Jun previously said bluntly, "I believe that 14 will definitely sell better than 13, but I didn't expect it to be so much better." ”

On the other hand, Huawei's soaring market share is inseparable from the Huawei Mate 60 series and Huawei Mate X5, which are still hard to find in official channels and need to be purchased by appointment.

What's even more surprising is that the Huawei Mate 60 series and Huawei Mate X5 have finally returned to the Kirin chip, so they are also called "fighting machines" by netizens.
