However, Apple still faces a lot of competition in the Chinese smartphone market. Tianfeng International analyst Ming-Chi Kuo wrote that the previous market consensus for iPhone shipments in 2024 was 220 million to 225 million units, but now it has begun to be revised down and is approaching its previous forecast of 200 million units, a year-on-year decrease of 15%. Apple may have the most significant decline among the world major mobile phone brands in 2024. Morgan Stanley report predicts that iPhone production expectations for the first quarter of 2024 will be lowered to 50 million units, a month-on-month decline of 33% and a year-on-year decrease of 7%, of which the impact of the Chinese market should be the greatest. Ming-Chi Kuo pointed out that the significant decline in iPhone shipments in 2024 is attributed to structural challenges, which mainly include the emergence of new design paradigms for high-end mobile phones and the continued decline in shipments in the Chinese market. On the one hand, the new design paradigms for high-end mobile phones are AI phones and folding phones; on the other hand, the decline in the Chinese market is mainly due to the return of Huawei and the gradual emergence of folding phones as the first choice for high-end users to change phones. Some consumers expressed concerns about the excessively high price, believing that such prices have exceeded their budget range, especially for those consumers who focus on cost-effectiveness, such pricing is not friendly enough.In addition, some netizens said that their old iPhones can still last for a few more years, and hinted that they would not rush to replace their phones because of the price. However, some consumers are willing to accept the high price and pay a higher price for the high-quality experience and Apple ecosystem. A blogger said frankly that no matter whether it is 20,000 or 30,000, there will still be many consumers who will pay for it.
