iPhone 18 Pro models saw a 12% increase in China sales in the first three days compared to the entire first week of iPhone 17 Pro sales last year. This strong performance led Apple to secure the top position in China's smartphone market for the week of September 14 to 20. With a 33% market share, Apple's prospects in China could improve further with the upcoming launch of the iPhone Duo. Chinese consumers show a significant interest in foldable devices, which is expected to boost sales for the new model.
