The newest flagship phones from Apple are making a huge splash in one of the biggest smartphone markets in the world. According to a fresh report from Counterpoint Research, early numbers show that buyers in China are responding very well to the latest premium models. Sales climbed by 12 percent compared to last year during the first week the iPhone 18 Pro hit the shelves.
The new pro models push sales higher in the region
The Counterpoint Research Weekly Smartphone Sell-Out Tracker showed that the brand took the number one spot for total sales during the 38th week of the year. This big jump in demand happened right when the highly anticipated new devices launched. While the standard iPhone 18 models are on sale, the premium tier is clearly catching the most attention from shoppers who want to upgrade their phones.
This strong start is great news for the company as it heads into the busy holiday shopping season. Getting a big boost in sales right away in a tough market like China is a huge win. This early success proves that people still really want high end features and are ready to spend money on the newest technology.
