Apple Goes on the Offensive as iPhone Sales Slip in Its Biggest Overseas Market

Apple is offering rare discounts in China, including on its latest iPhones, in a bid to beat back growing competition in the high-end market from rivals.

The tech giant is running a promotion from Thursday through Sunday in China in which it is cutting the price of iPhones by the equivalent of up to $70. Other products will be discounted by up to $110. The promotion comes ahead of the weeklong Lunar New Year holiday beginning Feb. 10, a customary gift-giving season in China.
