Canalys even claimed Xiaomi led the Chinese smartphone market in the second quarter of last year, but in the end the pair did not have an appropriate answer for the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile Chinese smartphone vendors are quickly gaining ground internationally, Apple has turned the tables on them in their home market,\u201d the Canalys team wrote in a press release.<\/p>\n<p>Apple was able to outsell the competition, Canalys believes, because of a series of fortunate factors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe company is finally riding the large screen and LTE trends in China, which have been vital to its success,\u201d the team continued, \u201calong with a well-timed launch and a clampdown on grey exports of its products out of Hong Kong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even more impressive, Apple\u2019s iPhones cost almost twice as much as similar offerings from device-makers such as Xiaomi, yet the California company was still able to win over the Chinese market.<\/p>\n<p>Another takeaway from Tuesday\u2019s report is Samsung\u2019s struggle to stay in the Chinese race. While the South Koreans popularized the large-screen \u201cphablet\u201d style that the latest iPhones mimic, the company limped out of 2014 in third place. The tech giant even embarrassingly ceded to Xiaomi, which has manufactured smartphones only since 2011.<\/p>\n<p>During its earnings report released Tuesday, Apple claimed a 29.5 percent rise in revenue for the last quarter of 2014 powered by the sales of 74.5 million iPhones.<\/p>\n<p>Apple claimed that revenue from the quarter, which ended Dec. 27, hit $74.6 billion compared to the $57.6 billion earned during the last quarter of 2013.<\/p>\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #f00;\">Error, group does not exist!
