As the iPhone 15 flunks in China, the Mate 60 Pro allegedly sells 1.6 million units in six weeks،

A research firm cited by Reuters It seems that Huawei is selling the Mate 60 Pro like hot cakes. Despite – or precisely because of – the Mate 60 Pro’s hardware origins are an enigma, surrounded by a mystery, within an enigma, it sells very well. Meanwhile, the iPhone 15 lineup isn’t having a good time in China at all. Let’s take a look at the numbers. The research firm says US-sanctioned Huawei sold 1.6 million of its Mate 60 Pro phones in six weeks and calls it a “premium smartphone renaissance.

Of the 1.6 million units, the Mate 60 Pro has sold more than 400,000 units in the last two weeks alone, during which Apple launched the iPhone 15 on the continent.

While US officials asked many questions about the Mate 60 Pro and its sanctions-defying creation, the iPhone15 sales in China failed. In the first 17 days, sales of Cupertino’s new phone were down 4.5% compared to the iPhone 14, the researchers said, without providing specific figures.

The Mate 60 Pro has been in high demand, with available inventory being immediately repurchased, “creating the appearance of perpetual unavailability,” said Counterpoint principal analyst Ivan Lam.

Next year try better

While there could be a massive turnaround in China and suddenly everyone could start buying the iPhone15the reality is that they probably won’t – not with the current government that has kindly banned its civil servants and state enterprise employees from using Apple’s phone.

This is why the Cupertino giant, which does not want to underperform in China, one of its most important markets, is already considering a more attractive iPhone 16 range. Analyst Jeff Pu shared some details on what to expect from the iPhone16. According to him, next year’s Pro models will feature a faster 5G modem, Wi-Fi 7 and a new 48-megapixel ultra-wide lens. On the other hand, the non-Pro versions (the iPhone16 And iPhone16 Additionally) will benefit from some of the technologies introduced with the iPhone 15 Prolike Wi-Fi 6e.

What’s more interesting, Pu reported that all iPhone 16 models will be powered by A18 family chips.
