Huawei yesterday published unaudited figures showing it shipped a total of 48.2m smartphones in the first half of the year, up 39 per cent from the same period a year earlier.

Meanwhile, Apple on Tuesday said revenues from Greater China more than doubled to $13.2bn, thanks to a surge in iPhone sales, but saw $66bn wiped off its share price after overall iPhone sales disappointed.

与此同时，苹果(Apple)周二表示，由于iPhone销量的激增，该公司在大中华区的营收增长一倍以上，达到132亿美元。然而，由于iPhone总体销量令人失望，苹果股价暴跌，市值蒸发660亿美元。在截至6月份的3个月里，苹果的iPhone销量为4750万部，至少比华尔街的预期数字低了150万部。
Wang Yanhui, head of the China Smartphone Alliance, an industry association, said that while Huawei’s figures showed about half of its sales were in China, the figure was probably closer to 60 per cent.

行业协会——手机中国联盟(Mobile Phone China Alliance)秘书长王艳辉表示，尽管华为的数据显示大约一半的销量来自中国，但该数字可能更接近60%。他补充说，华为的电池续航时间很长，而且在中国的高铁上也能稳定联网，这些技术特性提升了华为手机的人气。
