Apple Intelligence is only available in English-speaking countries, creating an opportunity for Chinese phone makers like Xiaomi and Vivo, which had a 'remarkable' quarter, IDC says.

Apple’s (AAPL) annual shipments in China declined 17% in 2024, with Huawei and Vivo overtaking the iPhone maker in market share, Reuters’ Liam Mo and Brenda Goh report, citing data from research from Canalys.

Apple Inc.’s iPhone sales declined about 5% globally in the final quarter of last year, hurt by underwhelming upgrades and competitors making inroads in China.
