iPhone 6 banned in China – Apple accused of design copying
Have you heard about the recent controversy between Apple and an unknown smartphone startup that makes iPhone 6 banned in Beijing? Here are the latest details about that case!
iPhone 6 banned in China: Does Apple really copy the design?
As reported, an unknown smartphone startup in China has sued Apple for copying the design of their brand. Shenzhen Baili, the founder of that startup company has claimed that iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus design is the same as one of their phone, the 100C smartphone. You can take a look at the picture below to see the similarities.
However, the ridiculous thing here is that, we all know that iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus was released a long time ago, earlier than the 100C smartphone. So how did Apple copy something which did not exist? What’s even more ridiculous is that the unknown brand really won the case! And after that case, Beijing government has banned both the iPhone models from entering the market.
The good thing is Apple has started an administrative litigation against the ban. And that allows them to continue selling the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus while the case is being reviewed. Talking about the unknown brand, its name is “100+”, and I bet that most of you have never ever heard that name. So how could such small startup could defeat the giant Apple?
iPhone 6 banned in China: What is the truth behind?
The question here is that, why does the unknown brand have to wait until now, when iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are rocking the Chinese smartphone market, to begin accusing Apple? Does it has anything to do with the recent rumour that the Chinese government is planning to eliminate all foreign smartphone brands from the market in this country? Everything we know by now is that Apple is really struggling with the authorities! What is your idea? Share with us!
