The Chinese now look down upon the iPhone, and they are over 20% of the world’s population and probably around 50% of the people who are going to pay $1,200+ for a phone.
So this is seriously, seriously cutting into Apple’s business.
I mean, it’s already potentially cutting Apple’s high end customer base in half, and this trend is only going to continue as more countries start to despise American products
In China, this vlogger took apart a Huawei Mate 60 Pro #smartphone, and all components are 100% developed/made by China (from #Kirin9000S chip to the camera)! This is proof that US tech blockade against Huawei failed! #China #HuaweiMate60Pro#Huawei @DongshengNews #TechNews pic.twitter.com/Ozw0fF5Smh

EPIC FAIL FOR US SANCTIONS
Huawei's new Mate 60 Pro, which utilizes an entirely Chinese made 5G & AI capable 7nm microchip, is taking markets BY STORM.
The new phone outclasses some of the latest 5G smartphones on terms of performance and quality.

Huawei Technologies and China’s top chipmaker SMIC have built an advanced 7-nanometer processor to power its latest smartphone, according to a teardown report by analysis firm TechInsights.
Huawei’s Mate 60 Pro is powered by a new Kirin 9000s chip that was made in China by Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp (SMIC), TechInsights said in the report shared with Reuters on Monday.
Huawei started selling its Mate 60 Pro phone last week. The specifications provided advertised its ability to make satellite calls, but offered no information on the power of the chipset inside.
China is set to launch a new state-backed investment fund that aims to raise about $40 billion for its semiconductor sector, two people familiar with the matter said, as the country ramps up efforts to catch up with the U.S. and other rivals.
It is likely to be the biggest of three funds launched by the China Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund, also known as the Big Fund.
Its target of 300 billion yuan ($41 billion) outdoes similar funds in 2014 and 2019, which according to government reports, raised 138.7 billion yuan and 200 billion yuan respectively.
One main area of investment will be equipment for chip manufacturing, said one of the two people and a third person familiar with the matter.
