KeenWood(@Keenbingwood):here's what I keep coming back to: Chinese shoppers have gotten really comfortable buying iPhones the last few years. The Mate 60 worked because it became a patriotic symbol. This one has to work because it's actually worth the money. If the chip feels mid or the price feels too high, the whole "sanctions-proof" narrative won't save them. Huawei is betting everything on their own ability to compete — but are Chinese consumers still betting with them?
