In fact, due to its good performance, analysts believe that Apple will sell about 240 million iPhones this year. Nevertheless, not all the models in this series are doing well. Simply put, the cheaper models especially the iPhone 12 mini is not living up to expectation.
Generally, Apple is not a big fan of price cuts and discounts. However, with the intense competition in the Chinese market which almost crippled the iPhone 11 sales, the company had to learn how to give discounts, at least in China.
No doubt, China is enjoying the dividence of diversification as all OEMs want to please the Chinese market. Apple’s latest price-cut in China is for its latest iPhone 12 series. According to reports on JD.com., the iPhone 12 series welcomes the largest discount since its release.

However, this discount is available at JD.com and may not be active in other stores.
