politicqxs 358 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 http://www.ctvnews.ca/business/china-may-ban-iphone-6-over-patent-dispute-1.2950837 Apple is embroiled in a patent dispute in China that threatens to block future sales of the iPhone 6 in Beijing unless the company can overturn a regulator's recent ruling. The potential ban stems from a decision issued last month by the Beijing Intellectual Property Office. The agency found the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus infringed on a patent for the exterior design of a smartphone called the 100C made by a Chinese company, Shenzhen Baili. Apple Inc. is still being allowed to sell both of the affected iPhone models while it appeals the ruling to an intellectual property court in China. If it loses, Apple could be forbidden from selling some of its most profitable iPhones in China's capital at a time when sales of the entire iPhone line have already been declining. .... The patent dispute is Apple's latest headache in China, the company's second biggest source of revenue after the U.S. and one of its fastest growing markets. China accounted for 26 per cent, or $61 billion, of Apple's revenue last year, up from 12 per cent in 2011, based on calculations by RBC Capital Markets analyst Amit Daryanani. giving up sodomy and moving to 🇦🇪 converting to ☪ and marrying four girls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JGD 12,098 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 The front and back panels of the iPhones have always looked similar since the iPhone 4 though? So the Chinese may have copied Apple rather than the other way around. After all, a lot of fake products of designer brands are made in China Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

politicqxs 358 Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 In the first half of the year, [Hwawei's] revenues have reached nearly $20bn (£12.5bn), so the company is on track to beat or match last year's total of $39.4bn. More than 65% of its income is from businesses outside of China, and they operate in more than 150 countries. But they have challenges operating in the US. Huawei and other Chinese tech companies such as ZTE have been banned from bidding for US government contracts, because of suspicions that they undertake industrial espionage for China. Huawei's founder, Ren Zhengfei, had served in the Chinese army before he started the company in 1987 and that stint is one of the reasons why US lawmakers believe that the company still has links to the state. Other countries such as Australia have also raised concerns. Huawei has denied all of these allegations. .. In 2012, Huawei overtook Ericsson to become the world's largest telecommunications equipment firm. It supplies the networks for companies such as BT, as well as the USB dongles that power mobile internet access for Vodafone, among others. In the past five years, it has also quickly become the third-biggest mobile handset producer, behind only market leaders Samsung and Apple, and it seeks to improve its position. With the launch of its latest "phablet", a combination phone and tablet, the firm is looking to become a global brand. Mr Guo says that he wants not only industry insiders to know of the company, but also the world's entire population of seven billion. Last week, Huawei became the first Chinese name to make it on to Interbrand's list of the 100 best global brands. Ranked 94th, Huawei's sights are set on Apple, which remains the world's top brand. http://www.bbc.com/news/business-29620442 giving up sodomy and moving to 🇦🇪 converting to ☪ and marrying four girls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The front panel as looked the same for ages even since the iPhone 3G and even the original iPhone. I love how it involved the iPhone 6 and not the 6s.
