Why Apple is offering rare iPhone discounts in China

Published On Jan 2, 2025, 10:53 PM

Apple is offering unusual discounts on iPhones in China due to increasing competition from local brands like Huawei, which has also reduced its prices significantly. The four-day promotional event includes discounts of up to 500 yuan on the latest iPhone models, targeting a market where consumer spending is currently hesitant due to economic challenges. Analysts suggest that Apple's new pricing strategy is a response to shifting shopping behaviors among Chinese consumers, who are now more value-driven.

Given the rarity of iPhone discounts and the increase in local competitors, this strategy may stabilize Apple's market share in China temporarily. However, the ongoing economic downturn in China may continue to affect overall sales.
