Apple expects China to overtake the United States as its biggest...

Apple expects China to overtake the United States as its biggest market, the company’s chief executive has told a Chinese government news agency. “China is currently our second largest market. I believe it will become our first. I believe strongly that it will,” the Xinhua news agency quoted Tim Cook as saying in an interview. The report gave no details of when Cook thought China, already Apple’s second-biggest market, might pass the US. Apple spokespeople in China did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Apple has said sales in China more than doubled in 2010 and 2011, though growth has slowed in the past year. Apple’s iPhones, iPads and other gadgets are popular with China’s highest-earning consumers but the country’s fast-growing smartphone market is dominated by handsets that run on the rival Google Android system. Cook was in Beijing to meet Chinese regulators and managers of state-owned China Unicom, the first Chinese carrier to support the iPhone.
