The US tech giant cut prices of some iPhones by 5%, its Chinese website showed on Monday.


The time-limited promotion, branded as a Lunar New Year event, will last from January 18 through January 21 in a lead-up to the holiday in mid-February. Sales of Apple's latest iPhone 15 series of handsets have been far worse than previous models in China.
