Qualcomm wants to ban the sale of iphone xs and xr in china

The legal battle between Qualcomm and Apple continues, and at times it seems to be intensifying. A few days ago, the chip company had its way, since it managed that several of the iPhone models, even the iPjhone X could not be imported or sold in China. The reason was his patents. A decision that greatly affects Apple's sales (20% of revenues come from the country). But they want to go further.

Qualcomm wants to ban the sale of iPhone XS and XR in China

Since they want the new models of the brand, the iPhone XS and XR cannot be sold in the Asian country either. So it would be a big problem for the signature if it happens.

Fight between Qualcomm and Apple

This has been discussed by Qualcomm itself, and the reason would be the same patents for which they have managed to prevent the brand's devices from being sold in China. Despite the ban, which took effect on Monday, Apple has continued to sell the phones. Because, according to the American company, iOS 12 is no longer supported by Qualcomm's patents.

Each of the companies maintains its version. But at the moment there does not seem to be an agreement or rapprochement. And the sale of the phones may be banned. Although at the moment we do not know if it will happen.

What is clear is that if it happens, it can be a serious blow to Apple, which has one of its most important markets in China, responsible for 20% of its sales. So we'll see if Qualcomm gets away with it.
