Apple in recent years has not been the market leader in terms of their phone sales but their accessories like Airpod, Ipad has been doing pretty well. Looking at the product line, iPhones are pretty much stagnant while the other Chinese brands are really pushing as many functions as possible, which leads to Apple now looking to diversify into the software portion like payments, apple TV app etc. 

Judging from what the US government is doing to the Chinese companies, Apple might be the first to face the wrath of the Chinese government with the earlier post on one of the Chinese companies suing Apple on Siri.
