Serves Apple right. After all the scamming and lies they've been doing to consumers ("You're holding it wrong", iPad Pros bending "it is normal") and anti-consumer practices (lying to customers by using software updates to slow down phones, locking out third-party repairs and parts, forcing consumers to go to their overpriced services for simple repairs), glad to see they get what they deserve. Older iPhones banned in Germany and their current iPhones selling poorly for being overpriced hot garbage is a good start to taming their greed.
Their decline in sales and value is just the beginning. Hopefully they'll decline even more seeing that consumers are waking up and see that "the fruit" is so rotten that it is unpalatable.

When apple do the same thing it is thier right to do so and when others doing it its "a desperate attempt to distract from the real issues between our companies."

- you bought an iPhone 5s
- you didn‘t have a SIM to activate
- since then you wish everyone working at Apple death and endless pain in hell
Or
- you bought a stolen iPhone 5s from eBay
- it was iCloud locked because it was stolen
- since then you wish everyone working at Apple death and endless pain in hell
Or
- you made up a Story
- you posted it on GSMArena

I hate those very often ridiculous patents. But this one is at least not some design patent as Apple sued Samsung. Still, it has no beneficial effect to is, users...

SilentAsian11, 03 Jan 2019 with all of this bad news about apple coming I am starting... moreFeeling bad? I feel bad when Apple charges extra for a fast charger, not even including one right in the box. Paying extra for a dongle? xD
Back of the iphone cracked? Pay 599USD to repair it and to mention how overexpensive iphone are, the iphone XR is a good example.
And if apple doesn't comit even to pay the royalties of another companies tech?
I hope this is a wake up call for Apple and just now it starts to show, sales have declined and it continue if Apple doesn't pay all the royalties qualcomm is asking.
Serves them right

Anonymous, 03 Jan 2019Yeah, Monopoly ftwMonopoly is consequence of success...
How many smartphones run android?
How many phones/cameras use Sony's sensor?
How many computers run Windows?
How many phones with oled use Samsung screen?
How many computers use CPUs from Intel ?
Competion has to develop better techs.. If they cant, they have to pay as much the owner wants.
When you go to supermarket it is up to you to pay the price charged, you cant say that you are gonna pay what you think you should..

"The court also ordered Apple to recall the affected iPhones from third-party resellers in Germany, according to a statement by Qualcomm."
Great, I wanted to get an iPhone 8 cheap in the future. With no supply, prices will skyrocket.
Thank you Qualcomm.
