Apple's Tim Cook says China will overtake the US as its biggest market

Apple chief executive Tim Cook said China would overtake the United States to become its largest market, as the iPhone-maker adds more stores and considers debuting new products in the country.

"I believe it will become our first," Cook said in an interview with Xinhua on Thursday. No timeframe was given for the prediction.

Apple had sales of US$5.7 billion in China during the quarter to September last year. US revenue was about US$14.4 billion, based on figures in an earnings statement in October.
