Apple, confronting a court prohibit in China on a few of its iPhone versions over alleged breach of Qualcomm Inc patents, said on Friday it’ll push software updates to consumers in an effort to solve possible difficulties.
Apple will execute the software upgrades at the beginning of next week”to tackle any potential concern with our compliance with the arrangement”, the company said in a statement sent to Reuters.
Before this week, Qualcomm reported a Chinese court had ordered a ban on sales of several elderly Apple iPhone units for violating two of its patents, even although intellectual property attorneys said the ban could still probably take time to apply.
“According to the iPhone versions we provide now in China, we think we’re in compliance,” Apple said.
“Early next week we’ll provide a software upgrade for iPhone consumers in China addressing the small functionality of both patents at issue in the case.”
