Apple was edged out of the top five smartphone vendors' list in China in the second quarter, as competition from domestic brands such as Huawei intensifies, according to a Canalys report. Apple's market share in China shrank to 14% in the second quarter, the report released Thursday showed, from 15% in the first quarter and 16% in the same period a year ago. The iPhone maker, which was the third-largest smartphone vendor in the second quarter last year, dropped to the sixth spot with about 9.7 million in shipments, according to CNBC calculations. "It is the first quarter in history that domestic vendors dominate all the top five positions," said Lucas Zhong, research analyst at Canalys. Apple's shipments have been declining since the first quarter when they dropped 25% year on year to 10 million units.
