Apple’s iPhones had grabbed a 15% market share in China by the end of last year despite competition from cheaper, domestic Android brands. But that run followed the release of the iPhone 8 and X models, which gave Apple a worldwide market share boost.

They fell about 5% in 2017, market research firm IDC says.
