The products in question are iPhones XS, XR, 8 and 7, as well as some of the iPods, Mac computers and Airpods. iPhones’ prices have decreased from 300 to 500 juan – 45 to 75 dollars. Also, according to CX Live and CNBC, Chinese customers who have bought their Apples in the last two weeks and for old prices will reportedly be able to receive partial refunds. Hmm.

Apple has not released any official statement explaining this course of action. It is believed that this is due to the company’s sales getting pretty low in China: Apple was only the 4th best-selling mobile brand there last year, being beaten by Huawei, Oppo and even the barely known outside of China Vivo brand. It is unknown whether or not the lowered prices will influence Apple’s Western markets as well, but it is doubtful.
