Qualcomm to file suits in Chinese courts to ban iPhone XS, XR sales

[lcloo]

It's 12 % by value. But Chinese are known for selling their kidneys for high quality iphones. They will buy from HK.
I remember PlayStations were banned in China a few years back but Chinese used to buy from grey mkt. Loss of foreign exchange from china but no tax revenue for government.

I am not talking about iPhone's percentage share in China's total market smart phone sales. Apple sold 23.8% of its global sale of iPhone in China in 2017. A loss of 23.8% iPhone revenue would be disaster for the Company. And over the years iPhone is losing its attraction in China.

Xi gave up "made in 2023"after US flex its muscle in Huawei case and US also forces CN to let exile Tibetan to enter Tibet and spread chaos all over Tibet.

CN is doomed. Chaos from Tibet soon will affect Apple factory in CN. Its time for Apple to leave Cn

Low cost manufacturing in China has no future. Samsung, Foxconn and the rest will soon pack and leave.

Once low cost disappears, medium cost manufacturing will follow. The bright side: China can concentrate all resources on high cost products as making quantum radar and rail gun.

Apple didn’t respond to a request for comment. The technology giant has given no indication that it intends to settle with Qualcomm. The filing shows how important the U.S. company is to the Chinese economy, and vice versa.

The ban would cost Apple millions of dollars a day and affect both the Chinese government and consumers, the company added, noting it has created 5 million jobs in China across the supply chain and third-party software developers.

The Chinese government "may suffer hundreds of thousands of tax losses" from the iPhone ban because of lost taxes from sales of the devices, the company also said, citing estimates of 50 million units sold in the country in 2017.

Apple also warned that the ban would hurt Chinese manufacturers like Foxconn and suppliers.

"Apple and many other companies, consumers, and government will suffer truly irreparable harm," the company said in the filing.






= Those 5 million jobs can always divert to Huawei, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, Oneplus, Lenovo, ZTE, Coolpad, Meizu, Chuizi, etc.

If the 5million job is enough to crushed US to submit in trade war. It is absolutely worth it. Once US lost trade war. China will be invincible. China can infact create more job if no US interference. Nobody dare to mess around with Chinese.

No. iPhone is sold cheaper in US than the rest of the world. And it is a fair higher in China.

Using US price a weighted index of 1 and represented by P, US sales by value is 31.9% X P.
Give the assumed weighted index for China 1.15 i.e. If iPhone is sold in Chine more expensive by 15% by value, the sale by value of iPhone in China would be 23.8% X 1.15P = 27.4% share by value.

Show me how and where you get the 12%, otherwise you are bull shitting.

I am writing this msg from my huawei phone. It is much better in terms of speed and touch screen sensing that I don't want to use Iphone ever again. Don't know why I was sticking to iphone. It was difficult for me to switch from one operating system to the other, but once I am comfortable, it is all the way Android for me now.

Huawei is starting to give tough time to Samsung even. I wish huawei good luck.

True.The only reason for Apple to stay in CN till now is just Cnese Apple fan. But Apple will have to leave if the tariff is 25%.

The arrest of Huawei CFO show that US law makers dont give a damn care to US companies like Apple ( cos Apple staff may be arrested in CN). if CN dont really knee down and surrender, then tariff will be 25% after 90days.

Trump will knee first when China stop buying US agriculture products and petroleum. Ever wonder why the 90days stop of trade war require China to resume US agriculture products? Cos Trump is under fire for their farmers woe.

China owned the whole world electronic supply chain. If US don't buy from China, who can they buy from without burning a hole? China has the most efficient transport , logistic handling to handle large volume. Not any third world countries can replicate. Do Vietnam has HSR to handle high volume transport from place to place to facilitate supplier chain? Zero... Not even India and Africa. The product sold there will cost a fortune due to heavy loss of timing and I'll efficient. There is a reason why China is called world factory and even owned the whole world.

Nobody can replace China in manufacturing.. we have the money, talent and technology. No even US can beat China. Yes, you heard it right.
