iPhone 18 Pro outsells predecessor in China launch

Sales of the iPhone 18 Pro in China jumped 12% in the first three days after launch, compared to the entire first week of iPhone 17 Pro sales last year, according to Counterpoint Research. That pushed Apple to capture the top spot in China's smartphone market for the week, with a 33% share. Next up: the foldable iPhone Duo releases October 23, where Apple's fortunes may further improve.

Why it mattersStrong early demand for the iPhone 18 Pro hints at a rebound for Apple in China, a market where competition from local brands has squeezed its share. The upcoming foldable launch may boost Apple's position in the growing foldables segment there.
