Apple’s iPhone 15 series is reportedly selling ‘far worse’ than the iPhone 14 in China،
Released worldwide less than a month ago, the iPhone1515 Plus, 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max seem to have already been involved in more controversies than the iPhone14 family in its entire existence thus far, with legitimate durability issues followed by relatively widespread out-of-the-box defects, even more frequent overheating issues, and several other bugs that don’t appear to have been universally fixed and satisfactory.
How bad is it?
These estimates currently appear to range from bad to…worse for Apple, as estimated by Counterpoint Research. iPhone15 programming is about 4.5 percent behind the iPhone14 series after 17 days of measured availability in the region while analysts at Jefferies put the year-over-year decline at double digits, which would clearly be a terrible outcome for the world’s second-largest smartphone vendor.
The iPhone 15 Pro Max and 14 Pro Max (pictured here) may be similar, but they apparently aren’t as successful, at least in China.
iPhones will always have America
“Always” is obviously a long time and no one can really predict what the US mobile industry will look like in three or five years, but for now, Apple seems impossible to beat on its own turf.
Yes the iPhone15 the series would have recorded “double-digit” growth compared to the iPhone14 range in terms of sales during their first nine days of commercial availability, which should certainly soften “some of the numbers in China.”

This chart from Counterpoint Research perfectly illustrates how far Apple is ahead of the competition in the US smartphone market.
This will undoubtedly allow Apple to remain from afar the largest smartphone supplier in the United States in the third and fourth quarters of 2023, but in the long term, many analysts and market researchers believe that “weak demand in China” could result in “lower-than-expected global shipments » for the entire iPhone family. .
This was clearly either fake news…or at least grossly exaggerated information, with what was initially described as booming demand suddenly collapsing for reasons unknown and hard to guess.
