Apple is expected this week to report that last year’s iPhone sales in China exceeded those in the United States. Thirty-six percent of iPhone shipments in the most recent quarter reportedly went to China, while just 24 percent went to the U.S. This shift took place over the past year, according to UBS, which noted that in the year-ago quarter, the U.S. accounted for 29 percent of all units sold, while 22 percent went to China. China’s apparent dominant share of new iPhone sales is a significant development on a number of levels.
