China’s smartphone market is signaling a recovery with the first four weeks of October growing on average 11% year-over-year (YoY) according to Counterpoint Research’s latest Smartphone 360 Weekly Tracker.
However, the research group says that production issues are a recurring theme this year, with both Huawei and Apple coming under pressure to deliver on new devices. Counterpoint says the latter is experiencing some issues with specific color variants on the Pro Max, resulting in extended wait times and higher prices on some e-commerce platforms.
