Data from Counterpoint Research reveals that in May of this year, Apple’s iPhone sales in China climbed to the leading position. The global sales of iPhones in April and May saw a 15% year – on – year increase. This marks the most robust performance of the tech giant over the past two months since the onset of the COVID – 19 pandemic.
Growth Powered by Key Markets
Preliminary data from Counterpoint suggests that the global sales growth was predominantly driven by the growth recovery in Apple’s two largest markets: China and the United States. These markets have played a crucial role in boosting the overall sales figures for the iPhone.
Double – Digit Growth Across Multiple Regions
Counterpoint also noted that iPhone sales achieved double – digit growth in additional markets, including Japan, India, and the Middle East. This widespread growth across diverse regions highlights the broad appeal of Apple’s smartphones.
Outlook and Market Dependencies
Ivan Lam, a senior analyst at Counterpoint Research, commented, “Currently, the iPhone’s performance in the second quarter appears promising. However, as has been the case historically, fluctuations will largely depend on two key markets – the United States and China.” Lam’s statement underscores the significance of these markets in determining the future sales trajectory of the iPhone.
