Apple does see shrinking sales in other regions:

"iPhone shipments in India have dropped 40 percent so far in 2018 when compared with 2017"[1]

China and India are the 2 largest developing economies in the world. It's no surprise that Apple's high price strategy has struggled there. Charging $1,000 for a phone might be viable in developed economies, that's not the case in developing countries like China & India.
