- Many Apple iPhone users in China are just as interested in Huawei’s pricier trifold phone, CNBC found during spot checks at stores Friday, the day the iPhone 16 and Mate XT launched in the country.
- Out of 10 people CNBC talked to, eight said they are interested in both the new Huawei and Apple phones.
- People in Beijing lined up as early as 5:30 a.m. to get the new iPhone when doors opened at 8 a.m.
- But there were no lines outside Huawei’s store, which started delivering the new phones at 10:08 a.m. to people who had reserved the trifold device.
