Apple has seen fit to release iOS 12.1.2 earlier today with a couple of bug fixes related to eSIM and overall refinements. Apart from this, the update also carried changes to tackle the patent involved with Qualcomm’s ongoing legal battle. As it turns out, Qualcomm’s heat for the patent infringements has still not quenched. The company says in a statement to Reuters that Apple “continues to flout the legal system by violating injunctions,” despite the iOS release earlier today. Let’s see some more details on the legal scenario.

Last week, we covered that Apple was planning to release a new iOS update to avoid potential patent infringements with Qualcomm. iOS 12.1.2 did arrive with fixes addressed with the patent. However, the situation has become quite complicated. China granted an injunction against certain iPhone models to Qualcomm on December 10 with the company touting that “the import and sale of nearly all iPhone models in China,” be banned. Apple, on the other hand, stated that all iPhones will remain available for users in China.
