Following the injunction by a Chinese court, legal proceedings have concluded in Germany, with the court ordering Apple to stop selling select iPhone models in the country thanks to the Qualcomm patent case. Apple’s stock price has been maintained following the news, but we don’t know for how long will that figure remain there. The California-based giant has been banned from selling some iPhone models in Germany that are incorporated with Intel’s baseband chips and parts from another supplier called Qorvo. However, the ruling will not go into immediate effect, giving Apple some breathing room to make its move.

The newest iPhone models, which are the iPhone XR, iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max will still be sold in 15 retail stores across Germany. Apple has said in a statement that all iPhone models will still be sold through carriers and third-party retailers in the region, fortunately. The latest setback to the technology giant comes as a result of Qualcomm’s third major effort to secure a ban on Apple’s lucrative iPhones over patent infringement allegations after similar efforts were exercised in the U.S. and in China, with the chipset manufacturer’s plan coming to fruition in the latter region.
