Greater China, which for Apple includes Taiwan and Hong Kong, accounted for roughly 18% of iPhone sales in the quarter ended in July, making it the company's top market after the United States and Europe. While the iPhone 6 took China by storm in 2014, models since have received a more muted response. "I'll wait for a drop in price, it's too expensive," said Angie Chen, 23, a project manager in Nanjing and iPhone 6 owner. Eight is the luckiest number in China because it sounds similar to the phrase meaning "to get rich". Apple declined to comment on the new phone, price or supply.
