Data Shows Android Has Surpassed iPhone in China Market

AdMob statistically analyzes the market situation of the mobile industry every month based on the data in its advertising network. This month, the company further refined the data of various countries and made a comparison between Apple and Android. Although in most countries, the number of iPhones exceeds that of Androids, China is an exception. AdMob's data shows that the number of Android phones in the Chinese market is 8.82384 million units, while the number of iPhones is only 7.25358 million units. From the overall global data, the total number of iPhones is 10.6 million units, while the number of Android phones is only 8.6 million units. In most Western European countries, this difference is more obvious, and the number of iPhones can even reach ten times that of Android. Industry insiders believe that issues like knock-off phones have affected iPhone sales in China. In contrast, Android can be installed on some cheaper phones, which makes Android more advantageous in the Chinese market. (Shu Yu) Sina Tech News, early morning of May 27th, local time, according to foreign media reports, data released by the U.S. mobile advertising company AdMob on Wednesday showed that the number of Android phones in the Chinese market has surpassed that of iPhones.
