The causes, according to a Umeng analyst, are the increasingly more official distribution channels and the latest iOS updates. Before the official distribution channels were established in mainland China most Chinese users bought iOS devices through gray markets where jailbreak services were widely available. Till 2013, the official distribution channels include two Chinese telcos, China Unicom and China Telecom, Apple Retail Stores and authorized re-sellers. iPhone 5s and 5c had had a combined 14% share of all iOS devices in China as of December 2013. iOS 7.0.4, released in mid-November 2013, accounted for 40% of the total iOS devices by the end of 2013.
