          LOL the china shills, who cried in pain when USA banned china tech, now rush to defend the iPhone ban 😂

          Where's the consistency? If you hate USA ban, you should equally hate china ban. Don't be a hypocrite.

            Tit for tat

              The more bans we have on the over-inflated price mongers that are Apple and their iPhones, the better.
              Maybe this ban will lead to price cuts for ALL Flagship devices (Why the heck are XIAOMI and SAMSUNG non-folding phones priced so high again?!).

                    Tann Hauser, 07 Sep 2023Whoa. That would be...about half of all global iphone sales. It's not as easy as you think. See how the story about the high rejection rates of made in India iPhone cases.

                        Tann Hauser, 07 Sep 2023Whoa. That would be...about half of all global iphone sales. It's just limited to govt officials. Payback for what they did to Huawei in 2019. A dose of their own medicine.

                          ..More employment to the other nations now. Maybe good.

                            Yeah that's the spirit

                              15 series is around the corner, this is going to have a great impact on sales. I wonder what apple is gonna do about it.

                                Interesting I will wait for more USA restrictions on Chinese brands

                                  I mean, it's not like that ZTE ban achieved a lot, the Axon 9 already shouldn't have come out with the then-current highest-end Snapdragon chipset, but it did, and so did every other newer ZTE flagship phone. Even some of their midrange phones came with Snapdragon chipsets.

It wouldn't. iPhone sales in China is about 24% of all iPhones sold globally. And the article says only about government employees using iPhones at work. They can keep their iPhones and use them outside work.

                                        Whoa.
                                        That would be...about half of all global iphone sales.
