More competitive phones at competitive price points are only part of the problem. In a word, the biggest problem is China itself, not just for Apple but for many other foreign firms that want to do business in China. The playing field definitely isn't level when you have a government shutting down iTunes (while allowing Chinese competitors to keep running), or when you have a really silly trademark suit denying Apple the use of its iPhone trademark in China, apparently because the Chinese government didn't get around to approving the trademark before a local firm making passport covers did. I'm hopeful that Cook's meeting in China will produce some beneficial changes and that Apple will begin to look at other locales outside China for producing its equipment and components. At the very least, I hope Apple will replace its LCD displays with OLED so that all iPhone models will have a display as clear and readable as those used on Samsung Galaxy models for more than two years.
