Last week, US President Donald Trump signed executive orders banning American companies
Why is it serious
According to the analyst, if the U.S.introduces a ban, Apple will have to remove the WeChat application from the AppStore. This is perhaps the most popular platform in China, as it combines both a messenger and a payment tool. People who come to China must install WeChat, otherwise they will not be able to make even small purchases.
If this happens, iPhone sales will collapse.not only in the Middle Kingdom, but also on the global market. According to Kuo's forecast, in this case, iPhone sales will decrease by 25-30%, and other devices - by 15-25%.
But there is also a more optimistic forecast - in the event that WeChat is removed only from the American App Store. Then sales of smartphones will fall by 3-6%, other gadgets - by less than 3%.
By the way, this situation will benefit Huawei, which is increasing sales with the help of the solidarity of the Chinese and popularity in its native market.
