In comparison, iPhone models launched in September - the iPhone XR, XS or XS Max helped Apple achieve 110 percent growth. This shows how popular Apple's latest iPhone lineup are in the world's largest smartphone market, China.

According to analyst Timothy Arcuri, one of the main reasons for the huge growth in sales for Apple comes from the large number of Chinese users upgrading from iPhone 7 to iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max. The iPhone 11 itself is significantly cheaper than the iPhone XR version launched last year, making the phone well-received by many Chinese consumers.
