The sale of the iphone 7 and 8 is stopped in germany

The conflict between Qualcomm and Apple is ongoing. The chip-making company has ensured that the brand's phones are not sold in China. But it seems that the situation goes further.

The reason for this is the fight that both companies maintain. Since according to Qualcomm, the phones of the Cupertino firm infringe a patent of his. After China, Germany is now the next market in which the sale of some models stops.

Sale of some iPhones in Germany halted

In this way, Apple has issued a statement in which they comment that the iPhone 7 and 8 are no longer sold temporarily in their Apple Store in Germany. The rest of the phones will continue to be available at all points of sale, both their own and those of third parties, where their phones are sold in the German country. At the moment, this only affects these two specific models.

The most current models will remain available normally in the Apple Store in the country. Although, users in Germany with the iPhone 7 and 8 are supposed to have already received an update. Thanks to it, the problem with the patent would no longer exist.

But it doesn't appear that this battle between Qualcomm and Apple will end soon. The two companies have intensified their attacks in these weeks. Although the sales bans can have a negative effect on those of Cupertino.
