For a country with 1.4 milliard people is it so strange?
Or is it an article to keep Apple in the news?

People who really "need" smartphones have no real choice in the market currently except Android.
iPhones are usually bought by the wannabes. Majority of iPhone community is filled with users who barely use their iPhone for making calls and texting (and maybe a few of them use Facebook and twitter as well) and want to pretend that they are techies or that they are rich enough to throw money on a gadget that they really don't have any need for.
This sort of market is not by any means a coincidence. Steve Jobs strived to build it and collect users who will not nitpick about lack of functionality and will gladly spend a premium every year to get half arsed products. When some guy put a sample app that does absolutely noting and put into the Apple app store at $999, 10 people bought it bought it was pulled out by Apple. That alone proves the kind of market Apple managed to build up. It is a dream market of every business entity.

That's how you do business, be ruthless. Don't worry about money, you can get it back from the supporter cult.

All the hate, all the comments from droid fanboys,so much nonsense,,,, but still apple rules... why are they so jealous, their android phones have so much custom ability, so much big screens, even 6.4" s LOL.. but why is samsung losing markets, why is apple gaining it.. oh yes they consider all the millions people, who buy iphones are isheep.. oh god. such idiots.. People who are true tech lovers, don't go for the best sounding hardware and stupid tons of features which are hardly used, but for the one which they love, which they can use properly to complete daily necessities..

this is obvious, i dont see why ppl are surprised, USA has an already strong apple base with different versions of previous iPhones models like 5 and 5s, and the market is already saturated, in china the recent deal with apple easily exposed iPhones to new more ppl, of course the adoption of first time users will be more and so in china.

"Apple, with high-end iPhones alone, poised to outsell Samsung’s total smartphone sales"
In the end Apple always wins

... moreAn iPhone cost their entire salary for 2-3 months and in the past it didn't even support 3G on their carrier (China Mobile), so they use it on 2G or Wifi or just use it for voice calls. Talk about wasting money on a status item, how much status it now gives when every peasant has one.
Of course, lots of people in the west can't actually afford an iPhone either without "buying" it on credit (aka carrier subsidization).
