BEIJING, May 30 (Reuters) - China's shipments of foreign-branded mobile phones, including Apple Inc's AAPL.O iPhones, were up 0.8% year-on-year in April, according to data released by a government-affiliated research company on Friday.
Calculations based on the data from the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) showed that April shipments of foreign-branded phones in China rose to 3.52 million units from 3.50 million a year earlier.
