iPhone SE Sales in China Become Popular and Win Over Other Brands

How popular is iPhone SE in China? Many American users who dreamt of a smaller 4-inch device have already pre-ordered AT&T iPhone SE. Chinese consumers are also active and over 3 million pre-orders prove this fact.

While iPhone SE sales figures are promising Apple doesn’t seem to place bigger orders with component makers. They are forced to reduce inventory as well because of the lower demand from the ‘fruit’ company.
