Things get complicated for Apple in China. The company has been forbidden to sell two of its smartphones, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, in the capital by “copying the design of a Chinese smartphone and violate its patents”, a complaint which, though it has no feet or head, has achieved its purpose

The local company sued Apple Shenzen Baili early this year, considering that the iPhone copied the design of one of its terminals: 100C. Now the patent court in Beijing has given them reason and has banned the sale of its two models of iPhone generation 2014.
In the images below you will see how the iPhone compared to 100C of this unknown Chinese company:
the most curious thing it is that Apple will continue to sell the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus in the Asian capital even when its design is basically the same as the models that have been banned.
of course, the question more obvious in this case is: who actually copied whom? The number of Chinese smartphones from unknown brands that are “inspired” in the design of models such as Apple or Samsung is huge, but now that Apple takes a few years in the Chinese market is that these companies have begun to feel the pressure brand in the market.
it would not be surprising that Shenzhen Baili all you want is to achieve a financial agreement with Apple and force them to pay under an agreement out of court. However, Apple said our fellow Gizmodo (USA) appealed that judgment before the court of higher regional court ruled that the patents, and expect good results.
The Beijing market has millions of people who are potential customers for a brand like Apple, so it is no wonder that this situation happens to them. In fact, it is not the first nor will be the last time any company or the same pressure the Chinese government white apple to get financial, or rather, money agreements, as an institutional blackmail anyone.
