Apple’s fiscal fourth-quarter Greater China revenue, due November 2, faces a low $14.49 billion comparison from the prior year, positioning the segment for likely growth driven by strong iPhone 17 series traction and earlier-quarter momentum of 22–38% year-over-year gains. Recent IDC and Counterpoint data show Apple gaining smartphone share in China despite an overall market contraction tied to higher memory costs and prices, though Huawei continues to lead with broader lineup appeal. Apple Intelligence features remain limited on the mainland pending approvals, limiting upgrade incentives in a cautious consumer environment. Traders will monitor whether hardware demand sustains through holiday comparisons against last year’s robust December quarter.
