apple: Apple grapples with turmoil in China days before iPhone 15 launch
Apple is facing potential crises in China ahead of the launch of its new iPhone. The company is contending with a growing ban on iPhone use among government workers and facing competition from China's Huawei. The biggest threat to Apple may be Chinese nationalism, which could lead consumers to shun foreign-branded devices. Apple previously experienced weak sales in China in 2019 due to Chinese nationalism and competition from local rivals.
