Apple's iPhone series became the best-selling smartphone in China in 2023, as per data from market tracker IDC. Despite facing tough competition from local rivals and increased government restrictions on foreign technology, the iPhone secured the top position in shipments for both the fourth quarter and the entire year. Apple's success can be attributed to its ability to decline less than its competitors during the period, thanks to timely discounts and promotions. However, sustaining demand in China may be a challenge for Apple due to further weakening iPhone sales and government restrictions.

Chinese rivals are putting pressure on Apple by selling smartphones with advanced features that are not available on iPhones in China. Chinese consumers are not getting the latest AI services offered by Apple's competitors, such as Huawei, Honor, and Oppo. This delay in providing AI services in China puts Apple at a disadvantage and has led to declining iPhone sales in the country. Additionally, Apple's commission charges for app developers have caused backlash and are being scrutinized by regulators globally. Apple is currently negotiating commission practices with Tencent and ByteDance.
