The iPhone 13 series can be said to be the best iPhone model in the past few years, and the demand performance has exceeded Apple's expectations, not only for many consecutive weeks in the domestic market to win the first place in sales, but also to help Apple surpass Samsung and rank first in global sales.
Previously, it was reported that Foxconn recruited a large number of workers on the eve of the Spring Festival for the iPhone 13, and even gave a bonus of 10,000 yuan, which shows that Apple is also ready to increase the market strength of the iPhone 13 during this time.
But recently, there are foreign media sources that Apple has recently been accused, and even faces the risk of a global ban on the sale of the iPhone.
At present, communications giant Ericsson has stepped up its infringement lawsuit against Apple, according to Ericsson, Apple did not renew the contract in time after using the Ericsson patent, and is also ready to find a lower price patent license.
Previously, Ericsson filed lawsuits against Apple in Brazil, Germany, Belgium and other places because of this matter, and in the future, it will also file lawsuits against Apple in the United Kingdom and more European countries, and iPhones in these areas may be banned.
Previously, due to patent infringement, the Russian side directly banned the sale of iPhones nationwide, and the reason why Russia dared to directly ban the sale of Apple was entirely because it was not deeply involved in the Apple industry chain.
However, from the perspective of market business, although Ericsson's lawsuit against Apple is true, it is obviously unlikely that it will make a global ban on the sale of iPhones.
In fact, there have been similar situations before, the domestic small i robot filed a lawsuit against Apple, saying that the Siri voice technology built into the iPhone constitutes patent infringement for the small i robot, but in fact, the final result may be that Apple pays a patent fee, and the two reach a cooperation. There was also the previous iPad trademark infringement case, which was also required to ban the sale of iPad, but in the end Apple also bought the iPad trademark.
Although ericsson and Apple's patent lawsuit will last for a long time, the final result will not be as the ostensible demand for a total ban on sales, but the two companies will eventually reach a settlement and finally solve it through patent fees, which is nothing more than a test and trade-off of interests between enterprises.
Regardless of any problem, Apple will actively solve and negotiate, this Ericsson patent case is likely to make Apple pay a lot of money, after all, Ericsson's communication technology is also more important for the iPhone.
