The US computer company Apple apparently reacts with an adaptation of the computer hardware on the prohibition of sales imposed by Qualcomm to some models of iPhone in Germany. Apple corrects Qualcomm's attacks by introducing a technically modified version of the iPhone 8 and a few other devices.
As we have learned from sources in the retail sector, Apple is likely anticipating, due to the ongoing patent dispute in Germany with Qualcomm in Krze, the introduction of the technically-adapted iPhone. These differ not only in software terms from the previously available templates, but come from another speech tracking chip.
Patent litigation continues
The change will allow Apple to resell the affected iPhone models via its own online store and various retailers without any restrictions. Just a few days ago, Qualcomm took further steps to stop the distribution of devices via free trade.
Background: The recent judgment of the Munich District Court, which gave the go-ahead to Qualcomm for the enforcement of a ban on sales to Apple. The court had ruled that Apple was using a whole range of iPhone models against a Qualcomm patent.
New equipment available in a month
The prohibition of sale specifically concerns the iPhone X, the iPhone 8 and the iPhone 7, as well as the respective Plus models – for which the Apple iPhone X It is already no longer sold directly in this country. We now have statements from employees of German resellers, according to which Apple has announced to its distributors that in about four weeks, the new variants of the iPhone 7 and 8 should be available.
Specifically, retailers have already received lists of model numbers for updated versions of the iPhone 7 (Plus) and the iPhone 8 (Plus), which would be equipped with a new Envelope Tracker chip. Until now, the quarrel with Qualcomm in Germany was at the center of his concerns. That changes have actually been made, we can not of course confirm by an independent party.
The new model numbers, including for example MN482ZD / A for iPhone 7 Plus black with 128GB memory and MQ6K2ZD / A for iPhone 8 with 64GB storage in Space Gray color, differ slightly model numbers of previously sold devices. They already appear from time to time in the WinFuture price comparison.
