Analysts did not expect much to much, and they were the first surprised. Over the April-May period of this year 2025, iPhone sales jumped 15 %. Extraordinary growth for Apple who has signed its best performance here for 5 years.
According to information from Counterpoint Research, which has just published its latest report on the smartphone market, this unexpected growth comes mainly from the United States and China. The two largest Apple customers did not disappoint, and after complicated months in the Middle Empire, Apple would have found colors with the arrival of sunny days.
Apple takes up first place
Things seem to be going well on the Beijing side. Indeed, Counterpoint assures that Apple is ironed in front of Huawei as the best seller of smartphones in the country. Very good news, when you know that the Cupertino firm saw its sales figures are reduced from quarter to quarter.
For analyst Yvan Lam, these two markets (China and the United States) definitely dictate the brand’s good financial health. In his report, he nevertheless mentions very good results in Japan. On the Japanese archipelago, Apple would have managed to sell a lot of iPhone 16th.

iPhone 16th: The good surprise continues
The “economic” smartphone presented by Apple this year would have seduced crowds. Small, simple to use and affordable, he would have managed to hoist Apple’s sales in the country all by himself. Yvan Lam explains that in Japan, it is above all “thoughtful” and “economic” sales that have shown Apple’s growth.
As such, he notes a very good performance of the iPhone 14, still on sale in the country. Regarding another important market for Apple, India, analyst Jeff Fieldhack recognizes that growth “follows predictions” without exploding the ceiling. The good sales of recent months also seem to demonstrate that the arrival of Apple Intelligence is not a criterion of choice for users. At least not for the moment.
