China’s main market research company is out with its latest data, and as the iPhone 16 creeps closer, the iPhone 15 is continuing its recovery in the country.
The China Academy of Information and Communications (CAICT) is a research firm closely tied to the Chinese government. Once a month, it publishes data on smartphone sales in the country.
The latest round of data is for April. CAICT says that foreign-branded phones in China — which is mostly the iPhone — increased by 52% in April year-over-year, from 2.3 million sales in April 2023 to 3.5 million in April 2024.
