Apple is easily replaceable, I mean the product , not the name of the brand.

I actually think US may have more trouble to make Apple products alone than China does.

Mate, Apple is doing very well in China.

 
Sales volume continue to fluctuate. There might be increase in sales of products from other brands but Apple continues to hold its own in the business around the world. Also, Apple is not for everybody but high class.
Apple must thank China, but Chinese phones will certainly outcompete apple, because competition helps make better products, China has dozens of equally good phone makers.

Yes, China provides business to Apple and deserve recognition for its contribution in this matter. No one doubts it.

However, I disagree with the "outcompete" claim because Apple has its own ecosystem that offer its own benefits and value to customers around the world. Apple has no shortage of buyers, therefore.



I will buy Apple as well when I have funds.

Because new competitors have entered the market and reshaped the composition of market share. It is important to understand that Apple create products for the rich in large part, Apple does not cater to budget market segment. However, Apple continues to register strong sales worldwide which is important. Who cares about global market share percentage?

At leas it's losing fast to domestic phone makers in China, the world biggest phone market by a huge margin.

You make it sound like as if Apple is at loss. Absolutely not.


Apple continues to sell well in the high-end market segment and make profits, and this is what counts in the end. Global market share percentage will continue to fluctuate due to a large number of reasons including new competitors finding their mark but this statistic is inconsequential to any company.

Apple's global share comes down, Xiaomi goes up really fast. Huawei just made a strong comeback a couple of months ago so it is not in th list, but soon will be there with considerable share.
