Love to play computer games On December 21, it was reported by foreign media that on Thursday local time, the Munich court in Germany ruled that Apple infringed Qualcomm's smart phone energy-saving patent. After Qualcomm won the lawsuit, Apple will remove iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 from its German stores.

According to CNBC in the United States, Apple has tried to appeal, but the company said that as part of the appeal process, it will suspend the sale of iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 in 15 Apple stores in Germany. New devices such as iPhone XS and iPhone XR are not affected by this ruling, but iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 can still be purchased from third-party retailers and operators.

Previously, Qualcomm won a similar ban in China, banning Apple from selling old phones. However, Apple has updated its iOS system for Chinese users and added new transition animations for continued sales. The Financial Times said that Apple tried to push similar software updates to solve potential problems in Germany earlier this year, but the latest ruling may be difficult to solve, because the energy saving of mobile phones seems to be a hardware problem.

Affected by the new ban, Apple shares fell 2.52% to close at $156.83 on Thursday, a 10 month low.

This ruling is the latest offensive in the growing battle between Qualcomm and Apple. About two years ago, Apple first accused Qualcomm of driving up the price of its baseband chips. Qualcomm in turn launched a series of lawsuits against Apple, accusing Apple of infringing its own patent, which has led to the current thorny issue.
