Apple Qualcomm Patent Fight Gets Hotter In China!

Apple Inc, facing a court ban of some iPhone models, iPhone 6s through iPhone x, in China over alleged infringement of Qualcomm Inc patents. It is not a good time for Apple to have negative annotations on it's products when iPhone sales are on a downward slope. Apple said on Friday it will push software updates to users in China in order to resolve potential issues. Qualcomm is arguing that Apple infringed patents on features related to resizing photographs and managing apps on a touch screen.
Qualcomm announced that the Fuzhou Intermediate People’s Court in China found Apple infringed two patents held by the mobile phone chip manufacturer and ordered an immediate ban on sales of older iPhone models, from the 6S through the X.
Apple has said that all of its phone models remained on sale in mainland China and that it had filed a request for reconsideration with the court.” Apple said.
Qualcomm has paid a 300 million yuan ($43.54 million) bond to cover potential damages to Apple from a sales ban and Apple is willing to pay a “counter security” of double that to get the ban lifted, the copy of the reconsideration request shows.

All the models mentioned, also are available to buy on Apple’s China website on Friday.
