Η Qualcomm has won its legal battle with Apple - a Chinese court has issued a preliminary injunction banning the import and sale of selected Apple phones in China. Affected models include iPhone X , iPhone 8 , 8 Plus, but and older Apple models, starting with the iPhone 6 generation.
Apple has infringed two patents filed by Qualcomm, and the court has agreed in their favor. They are about resizing photos and navigating touch screen applications. These are software patents and Apple claims that iOS 12 does not infringe on them.
Apple, on the other hand, also issued a statement saying that "all iPhone models remain available to our customers in China." The 2018 generation - XS, XS Max and XR - are not affected by this decision.
This is just one battle in the war between Qualcomm and Apple. Qualcomm has called on US courts to impose a similar ban, but they are currently backing Apple.
