Cook has said that many iPhone features inspired by China

For Apple, China is one of the most important markets in the world, contributing untold amounts of revenue each year.

Apple is also increasingly focused on the Chinese user experience and has introduced a number of exclusive features for Chinese users.

Cook reportedly said: "We listen very carefully to the needs of Chinese users and develop new features based on those needs, such as the five-stroke input method and camera scanning of QR codes, and then roll them out to the rest of the world. In fact, many of our features are based on feedback from Chinese consumers.

And, of course, Apple's results in China have been very impressive.

According to the latest data recently released by the well-known market research firm Canalys, although the domestic mobile phone market is still in gradual decline, Apple still topped the list in the fourth quarter of 2022, with iPhone 14 series shipped 16.4 million units, with 22% of the market share.

Especially in the domestic high-end market, Huawei withdrew after almost monopolized by Apple alone, other Android manufacturers are fighting hard to grab, but still have a very large gap with Apple.

Apple alone accounted for 70% of China's high-end mobile phone market share above $ 600, a steady high-end king.
