Tech giant Apple could be hit hard if Donald Trump decides to unleash trade tariffs on China after the firm revealed a shock drop in iPhone sales in the Chinese market. Apple reported its total revenue from the Far Eastern nation registered £14.3 billion for the last financial year, an 11% decrease from the previous year.

Apple's iPhone sales in China reportedly took a tumble at the end of 2024, with a considerable reduction in sales putting it in a dead heat with homegrown Xiaomi.

Apple is still facing headwinds in China. The company's overall sales in China declined 11.1% during to $18.51 billion during the last three months of 2024, the largest drop in the country since the first quarter of 2024.
