Counterpoint Research has released a report stating that during the initial 10 days following its launch in both China and the United States, the iPhone 17 series witnessed a 14% surge in sales compared to the iPhone 16 series. Specifically, sales of the standard iPhone 17 model in the Chinese market nearly doubled. Meanwhile, the U.S. market saw a strong demand for the Pro Max variant. Analysts have attributed this sales uptick primarily to enhancements in screen performance, expanded storage capacity, and the upgrade to the A19 chip. In the wake of this positive news, on October 20, 2025, Apple's stock price soared to an all-time high, propelling its market value to approach the significant milestone of $4 trillion.
