iPhone 17 helps Apple set a record

(Dan Tri) - The success of the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro Max product lines has helped Apple's stock set a record high.

According to a report from market research firm Counterpoint Research , the standard version of the iPhone 17 sold 14% better than its predecessor. This data was recorded after 10 days of sales in two key markets, the US and China.

Experts at Counterpoint Research attribute the product line's success to a series of improvements in display, larger storage capacity, and the upgraded A19 chip.

"Consumers appreciated the standard iPhone 17 thanks to its valuable upgrades in specifications. In China, iPhone 17 sales nearly doubled compared to iPhone 16 in the initial sales period and the growth momentum was maintained until October," shared senior analyst Ivan Lam.

Sharing the same view, senior analyst Mengmeng Zhang also said that iPhone 17 attracts users by providing a lot of value for money.

"Better chips and screens, larger storage, upgraded selfie cameras, while the price is the same as last year's iPhone 16. In addition, users also benefit from discounts through distribution channels. These have boosted iPhone 17 sales," Mengmeng Zhang emphasized.

Not only the standard version, iPhone 17 Pro Max also witnessed strong demand, especially in the US market.

Carriers in the US have launched many support packages to attract users to upgrade to the iPhone 17 Pro Max. This move also contributes to promoting users to spend more in the high-end mobile segment, helping Apple retain more customers.

Meanwhile, although the iPhone Air didn't achieve as much success, it had a promising start in the Chinese market. The model even sold out within minutes of going on sale in that country.

According to CNBC , the success of the iPhone 17 product line has helped Apple's stock rise to a record high of $262.24 in the most recent trading session. To date, about half of Apple's revenue still comes from the iPhone business.
