Apple Inc. Faces iPhone Slowdown In China While Losing Ground To Android In US

Apple’s smartphone is showing some signs of weakness in China, one of the company's most important markets. In the three-month period ended Jan. 30, the iPhone continued to grow its share in China, but at the slowest rate since late 2014, according to Kantar Worldpanel ComTech.

The slowdown wasn't exclusive to China, as the iPhone maker also lost share in the U.S. to Android manufacturers, which accounted for over half of smartphones sold in the period.
