Apple has sold over 2.2 billion iPhones since 2007, many of them in China. Those iPhones (and iPads, etc.) were assembled in China. But for the US$451 experts estimate it costs to make a new iPhone, only US$14 stays in China: US$7 to Foxconn and US$7 to the workers it employs. The iPhone is not as popular in China as in the past. China's workers and its giant phone market helped Apple become the first company worth US$2 trillion. Just two years ago, Apple sold most of the more expensive phones in China. In 2019, however, Apple only won over 9% of China's buyers.
