The third quarter saw 60 million smartphones shipped in China, a record number and three times more than personal computer shipments, according to a report by the research company International Data Corp.

Apple Inc's ranking in the Chinese smartphone market fell to No 6 in the third quarter, when the company commanded less than 10 percent of the Chinese market, the company said.

"I don't think the iPhone 5 will help Apple lift its rankings in the Chinese market, since Apple merely concentrates on high-end buyers," said Sandy Shen, an analyst at technology researcher Gartner Inc.
