Apple bounces back, sells 3.9 million iPhones in China in April

Beijing: Apple bounced back in April in China after a dull March owing to lockdowns, selling 3.9 million iPhones which is nearly 160 per cent increase from the previous month.

In April, overall smartphone shipments in China was up over 94 per cent in comparison to March and reached 40.8 million, reports CNBC.

Apple closed all its retail stores outside Greater China in March as COVID-19 pandemic spread. All the Apple stores in Greater China are now open.

According to the IDC, Apple has always had a significant share of smartphones in use in China because iOS-based iPhones have a longer replacement cycle than Android phones.
