What are they going to do, track down everyone with one of these phones and try and take it off them? Good luck with that.

Banned from import and sale.

I’m Shocked, shocked I tell that a Chinese company stole intellectual property. It’s their business model.

Yet they will continue to steal. It’s beyond their business model. It’s their mantra. It’s their national pride: beg borrow and steal.

At least they will never have the luxury of accumulating basic research since they LOVE to take shortcuts rather than doing proper learning.

IMEI ban is enough to draw those customers to telco support desk, and then, they can all be confiscated from there. It’s not as hard as you think.

Apple suppliers stumbling over cut corners and high profit margins.

And Apple tripping over them in turn, clearly.

Our entire AI industry is built on stealing from anyone and everyone lol.

Apple is going to pay a big logistical price for this, unless they don't end up getting banned.

That’s only money and not for all phones.The proposition that has been floated in prior posts is Apple knew about this. And to me that’s a question not a statement.

Or it could have been a calculated risk. Someone knows the answer.

Money is everything for a corporation. If losing large amounts of it isn’t tripping over something for a corporation, then I don’t know what is.

I don’t know if they knew or not, but they still selected a questionable supplier. That’s on them.

But tripping doesn’t require foreknowledge.

Are Apple stating iPhone 17 Pro models bought in China are substandard quality?

Maybe I’m reading this incorrectly.
