The Cupertino-based company is not having a good time. A few days ago, minutes before making an announcement that modified the company's forecasts for the last quarter of 2018, it withdrew the shares from the market to prevent them from suffering a disaster that has come when it has returned to the market.
In addition, the battle he has with Qualcomm is presenting you with more problems than you initially realized, since the prohibition that a Chinese judge to sell its products in the country, a decision that has been appealed and for now suspended, in Germany, Apple has not been able to appeal to delay the decision of a German judge, although this time only affects iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8, and iPhone 8 Plus.
For a few hours, Apple has officially stopped selling both the iPhone 7 and iPhone 8. If we take a look at Apple's website in Germany, we see how at the top of the web where Apple's main products are shown, it goes from iPhone Xr to iOS 12 while in the rest of the world where it has a presence, you will find the iPhone Xr, iPhone 8, iPhone 7 and iOS 12.
Apple has stopped selling these models in the 15 official stores that it has distributed throughout the country, although both the iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus can be found in retailers that sell official products of the company in the country and that at the moment it seems that they are not affected by the judge's decision.
In order to carry out this prohibition, Qualcomm has had to deposit before the judge 1.340 billion dollars, a sum that suggests how important the subject of patents is for the American company. This money will serve to compensate Apple if it is finally who is right and not Qualcomm.
