Apple has announced its participation in China’s national subsidy program, offering significant discounts on select devices in Beijing and Shanghai. Consumers can learn more about this initiative through South China Morning Post. The tech giant is providing discounts of up to 2,000 yuan (US$278) on products like the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and MacBook, a strategy aimed at countering fierce competition from domestic brands and addressing the economic challenges in China.
According to data from the IndexBox platform, the Chinese smartphone market is expected to see a 1.9% decline in iPhone shipments by 2025, driven by strong competition from local companies such as Huawei Technologies. The subsidy program allows Apple to offer discounts through its own retail channels for the first time, a move that could enhance its market position amid these challenges. Consumers in Shanghai can access the subsidies at any of Apple’s eight physical stores, while those in Beijing can benefit from online purchases.
