Will Apple phones be discontinued in China?

Apple phones will not be discontinued in China.

Consumers in China can still buy all kinds of iPhone products.

From a realistic point of view, consumers can still buy Apple's related products from the market, because the behavior preservation ruling has no legal retroactivity.

In other words, before the "ban" comes into effect, the "ban" has no legal effect on Apple mobile phone products that have been imported, sold and promised to be sold, and downstream distributors can still continue to sell their own stocks; Moreover, the "ban" is aimed at Apple's four subsidiaries in China, not downstream distributors.

At present, products including iPhone X are sold on Tmall and JD.COM platforms. In Apple official website, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and other products are still in normal sales.
