It is possible that Apple will continue to bet strongly on the Chinese market despite the falls in the sales of devices in the country for several reasons, but one of them is clear, today the Chinese market is Apple's second in sales only being surpassed by the United States. For this reason and taking advantage of the different visits of the CEO of the company Tim Cook in the country, it is betting very strongly on different fronts. One of those fronts is the announcement made by the firm of the bitten apple on the new research and development center soon to open in China.
By now everything is closed after the visit - Apple CEO meeting with country minister Zhang Gaoli, announcing this new Apple hub in the country. The details about their location or the investment that they will make in the facilities and other points to take into account for a news story of this size, are not known at the moment and it is expected that the number of employees will be important even though there is no data concrete about it.
China continues to be postulated as one of the main dishes where the Cupertino boys want to invest money and efforts. At the moment the sales of its devices in the country we already say that they have stagnated a bit, but it is not surprising in view of the first year of sales. Now the rebound is expected for the year 2017 And it is that although it is true that Apple products have grown in quantity and quality, we cannot forget that the iPhone continues to be the star and its sales have decreased compared to the previous quarter.
Apple is not having it easy in the country since China has limited it in many ways, but the truth is that despite all the negatives, Apple's efforts are still powerful. Obviously a research and development center is something that will benefit the country itself and obviously Apple, so we are sure that this is a good method in the face of the adversities of the firm with the country.
