> Cue all the armchair product strategists coming in to tell us all the mistakes Apple made in it's product line up, or $29 batteries, or some other bullshit. Look, the reason iPhone sales are slipping is because of China's recent poor economic performance.

Why not both?

Because then it would be illegal for Apple to tell shareholders: "most of our revenue shortfall to our guidance, and over 100 percent of our year-over-year worldwide revenue decline occurred in Greater China"

That quote only says that the revenue declined in China, not why. Economic downturn might be a reason, losing market share in China due to local competition, product strategy or similar might be another reason.
