According to The Wall Street Journal, China has now begun to impose bans on government officials from using iPhones and other devices from foreign brands over security concerns. The original report by The WSJ states that the ban was imposed on central government agencies to not use Apple's iPhones and other foreign-branded devices for work nor bring them into the office in a move to cut China's reliance on foreign technology and enhance its cybersecurity. Moreover, in recent news, the ban has now extended to local governments in China as well as the ban on the use of both the Apple Watch and AirPods, as reported by CNBC. This would be a blow to Apple both as a manufacturing partner and a big market for its products as China had become the world's largest iPhone market in the Q2 of 2023 accounting for 24% of all iPhone shipments, while Apple's US market stood at 21% according to The South China Morning Post.
