iPhone loses ground in China, marketshare halved to 10%
Research firm IDC says that Apple’s smartphone share in China, its second largest market, almost halved in Q2 as local Chinese sellers like Lenovo and ZTE gained ground.
IDC Analyst T. Z. Wong said said that Apple lost marketshare because people know a new iPhone will be released soon, but also because the alternative are much more attractive than they were a year ago.
According to IDC, Lenovo took the second place, increasing its market share to 11 percent from a five to eight percent share in the first quarter when it was ranked seventh.
