Reuters reported Monday that Apple shipped just 494,Watch Where Sleeping Dogs Lie Online000 phones in China in February, which is a 61 percent drop compared to the same time last year.

Android phones also suffered a major drop in sales, with just 5.85 million units shipped, compared to 12.72 million units in February 2019.
