Last week we told you that in the world\u2019s largest smartphone market, China, the iPhone had been banned from being used in the offices of central government agencies. Officials working at these offices were told not to bring their iPhones to work. This all suspiciously took place after Huawei\u2019s surprise introduction of its new Mate 60 Pro flagship phone which includes a homemade 5G Kirin chip for the first time in three years since the U.S. banned Huawei from obtaining cutting-edge chips.<\/span><\/p>\n

China is an important market for Apple and the action taken by China was considered a huge negative for Apple, especially with the release of its new iPhone 15 line rapidly approaching. This was borne out by the huge drop in Apple\u2019s stock that took place the following day and the weakness has lingered since. Somewhat overshadowed by the inclusion of the iPhone, China said that all phones made by foreign companies were being banned in central government agency offices.<\/div>\n

According to Bloomberg, China is complaining about security issues on the iPhone. This morning, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning tried to explain the reason for China\u2019s actions against Apple\u2019s smartphone by saying, \u201cWe noticed that there have been many media reports about security incidents concerning Apple phones.\u201d Mao said that the country places \u201cgreat importance\u201d on security and that all firms operating in China must abide by its laws and regulations.<\/div>\n

Mao\u2019s comments, when released by China\u2019s Foreign Ministry as an official transcript in English, eliminated the word \u201cmedia\u201d from her comments which changed the meaning of her statement explaining how China learned about the claimed security issues in the iPhone. In Chinese, it sounds like the country had simply spotted media accounts of these problems while the English transcript made it seem as though China had first-hand experience with the alleged security problems with the device.<\/p>\n
