Apple's iPhone 16 has seen a remarkable 20% increase in sales in China over its first three weeks, surpassing the iPhone 15's launch performance. The success is notable despite fierce competition from Huawei, which released new models simultaneously. The premium iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max led the charge with a 44% sales surge. Analysts suggest that while the iPhone 16's early success is promising, concerns linger about potential sales declines similar to the iPhone 15's trajectory. Apple's ability to maintain its lead in China's competitive smartphone market is crucial for its global strategy.
