| Huawei acquires Apple's largest market share in China |
According to Canalys market research report on the Chinese smartphone market in the last quarter of 2019, Huawei's boom in 2019 came at the expense of its smallest Chinese competitor and Apple Development, despite the decline in the smartphone market and consumer preference for 5G phones.
