Chinese phone makers bring smartphone war to America

After kicking Jobs’ Mob’s in its home market

After the iPhone X received a good kicking in China, after Apple made the mistake of trying to jack the price up to “silly money” levels, Chinese phone manufacturers are considering taking the fight to Apple.

Huawei and Xiaomi have carried the scalp of Apple’s iPhone X to US wireless operators and told them while Apple is an idiot in the US they can do the same thing that they did to the fruity cargo cult in China.

The handset makers are negotiating with carriers including AT&T, and Verizon Communications are still fluid, and it’s possible nothing will come of it. But the fact that they think they have a shot at it is a sign how precarious Apple’s worldwide hold has become.
