The Mate 30 got hit with the US ban hammer. So Huawei never manufactured all that many of them.
They couldn't order the manufacture of more SoCs at TSMC. Google services were disabled on it which meant a lot of people outside China would balk at buying such a phone. Some imported chips like the RF chips were made in the US and no longer available. Etc.
India look after its own interests. declining demographics of west and west integration with Mideast gives India more opportunities.
Modi does not even dress western and his party is post colonial. India has risen to the occasion and Modi knows that Greater India can only be achieved through Arabs. Its not news when few hundreds thousands out of billion Indian look for jobs outside but its news when Modi comes to the airport.
Apple wants to grow their China market share and at the same time "de-risk" China by pushing their suppliers to move out of China to India, Vietnam etc. Not surprising sentiments turn against them.
It wasn't new though. There was no gradual shift, but a delayed sudden change. I suspect something wrong with new iphone? Indian QA issue??
Apple Q4 volume declined -10.6% YOY. Q4 volume for Huawei increased by +79.3%, Xiaomi by +38.4%, Honor by 12.9%. I don’t know the answer to the question for the main reason this shift is happening among the people.
i wont rely on those GDP figures. that 11.4 % Turkey and 6.9% Polish are highly suspect. look at there PMI history.I'm not surprised by such moronic stories, considering that imbeciles like this, who completely lives in his own world, exists. He seems completely unaware that the US stock market is just one crash-away from the starting point, while China's infrastructure and manufacturing prowess are everlasting.
Here is the reality about the world economy in the next a few years, according to world bank:
Ukranian twitter is often detached from reality. I dont know what happened to Ukranian education or political culture post Soviet that almost blinded to reality.
certain things are obvious like scientific innovations while some are abstract like unseen wealth creation.
who created that FBW wide body aircraft among the first certified? or that automated space shuttle. Software is as important as hardware.
Airbus certainly was hesitant.
It was that Soviet system that enable Russian muslims on different intellectual level post Soviet and that set direction for Russia. thats the reason Rogozin can tell that lady go away to Pacific ocean and speak a different language.
It happened to Samsung before this, when it moved all of its smartphone production out of China in 2019, mainly to Vietnam and India. Samsung had its market share in China drop from 20% in 2013 to around 1% today. Apple is the next smartphone company who made the serious push to move its production and supply chains out from China. Namely to India, and Vietnam. Even more provocative was Apple's push to have India replace China as Apple's main manufacturing center. Because both the US and India are the most active nations in trying to sabotage China's economy.
So imagine one day where Apple makes its iPhones mainly in India, and then sells them in China. This, after unnecessarily dismantling its manufacturing center in China that was running so well. The made-in-India iPhones will be more expensive, lower quality, scarcer, and worse, it makes a mockery of China's relationship with Apple. So why should any Chinese put up with this nonsense? Giving business to people who are seeking to undermine China. Its Apple who unnecessarily provoked this, so they should feel the heat. Since India is more important to Apple than China, they should go and sell more iPhones there, and forget about Chinese business. The Chinese will have full justification to support their local smartphone brands over those untrustworthy and ungrateful foreign brands.
But China is moving on already. It is no longer just a cheap factory and big market for Apple and Samsung. It is becoming serious competition to them.
