Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) appears to have cemented its spot as the top smartphone seller in China as a new research report says the popularity of the iPhone 13 has boosted the company's position among the country's consumers.

According to Counterpoint Research, Apple (AAPL) claimed a 23.6% stake of China's smartphone market during November, up from 22% in October. Counterpoint said that Apple's (AAPL) nearest competitor was Chinese smartphone and technology company Vivo, with a 17.8% market share.
Counterpoint said Apple (AAPL) has been helped by the popularity of its new line of iPhone 13 smartphones and prices that have been similar to those of the iPhone 12, which was released a year ago.
Earlier this week, reports said Apple (AAPL) has begun offering bonuses of up to $180,000 in stock in order to keep some employees from leaving the company.
