Moreover, reports indicate that it captured over 10% of the smartphone market share in China in 2022. It is the leading smartphone with a 6.6% market share, doubling its sales compared to 2021.

Following the iPhone 13 are the iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 13 Pro in the next two positions. These three iPhones contributed to 60% of Apple's smartphone sales in China in 2022. This marks the first time Apple's Pro variants have made it to the top 10 list in China.
These results are remarkably impressive considering Apple's iPhones have significantly higher average prices compared to their competitors. To put it in perspective, all other phones in the top 10 are priced below 500 USD.
In total, Chinese consumers purchased a whopping 980 different smartphone models in 2022. In the ranking of the top 10 best-selling smartphones in this populous country last year, Apple's iPhones secured 4 positions, while Samsung and Xiaomi secured two and one positions respectively.
Apple is likely to face increased competition this year, with projected market share decline. Let's wait and see!
