They all rely on TSMC to manufacture them. You're right though. I think China is depending less and less on US tech. I think Huawei has managed to build a phone with no US tech (Read it somewhere but not sure if it's accurate). Te US is also dependent on tech from other countries as well as most tech products now contain tech from multiple countries

You don't ban a company for no reason, do you?

The idea was to return the two and then just get one with the government discount when they started that. You can return within 7 days if you buy online

Where I live in China queues were out the door in the Apple store in the local Apple store in China for parts of December. That was because the local provincial government had a 15% off all mobile phone campaign though so it made sense to take advantage of it to get more expensive phones. I bought the Xiaomi 15 and Oneplus 13 just before the campaign launched but then returned both to take advantage of the 15% discount. Unfortunately though they suddenly cancelled the deal before Christmas (was supposed to be until the end of December) and I didn't get around to repurchasing before that😂. There were a number of different provincial promotions like that but most offered 10% discounts. There is a national 15% state sponsored discount starting soon but it is only available for phones costing no more than 6000rmb so that will rule out most iphones, at least the pro variants. It's limited to a max of 500rmb too. This could further hurt iphone sales as there will be a 500rmb discount on phones under 6000rmb

So, Nope. As long as China dont ban Apple, it means China need Apple.
Just like any other chinese brand that depend on U.S. tech like Android, Google, Qualcomm, and other techs only to make a functional phone.
China is nothing without U.S. Tech. I have to admit it

China has its own economy. Apple is a sheep to China, if you don't know.
Get your facts right before spewing this ludicrous comment.

China are afraid of banning Apple, since millions of chinese and companies need money from Manufacturing of Apple product.
Banning Apple means millions unemployed, and increasing unemployed means higher chance of demonstration.

Larger battery, faster charging, high PWM frequency, IP69, new types of screen glass, 1 inch sensors, under display camera, ... All at a lower price, and maybe less polished software. But flagship software has been improving greatly. That's why iPhone lose market share in China. Apple simply don't want to innovate and just relies on their brand name and status to sell to mindless herds.
