Apple selling older iPhones again in Germany amid ongoing argument chipmaker Qualcomm

Apple is selling older iPhones in Germany again, amid an ongoing dispute with chipmaker Qualcomm. For now, all of the iPhone 7 and 8 models that are returning to sale will use the chipmaker's components to get around a patent dispute and allow them to be bought again in Germany, Apple said. But it remained committed to fighting the argument that led to the ban, it said, and continued to attack Qualcomm over the patent dispute that has blighted both companies. "Qualcomm is attempting to use injunctions against our products to try to get Apple to succumb to their extortionist demands. In many cases they are using patents they purchased or that have nothing to do with their cellular technology to harass Apple and other industry players," an Apple spokesperson said.
