Apple has been ordered to stop selling iPhones in China, putting pressure on the Qualcomm tech giant amid declining smartphone growth. Fuzhou Intermediate People's Court granted Qualcomm chip maker US's request for two injunctions against four Apple subsidiaries, forcing them to stop selling models from the iPhone 6S to X. If the court ruling is upheld, it could severely impact Apple's revenues, as Greater China is its third-biggest market. Apple has filed a request for reconsideration, with the aim of appealing the preliminary injunction.
