Chinese consumers cited a lack of hardware advancements as a reason for not purchasing new iPhones and instead, opting for Huawei or keeping their old iPhones longer. Apple executives remain confident about the China market, stating that the brand remains strong. However, Chinese rivals with cheaper options and better features have gained momentum during China's economic slowdown.

Trump's new tariffs test Apple's global supply chain

The company's diversification efforts—redirecting production to India and Vietnam—now confront new challenges.
