China Bans Use of iPhones For Government Officials

Category: World News




China has reportedly banned the use of iPhones among central government officials, just days before the unveiling of the iPhone 15, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The news saw Apple shares drop by around four per cent. A follow-up report from Bloomberg suggests this ban is set to expand to include state-owned companies and agencies.

Apple CEO Tim Cook visited China in March 2023, during which he described the company’s interactions with the country as “a symbiotic kind of relationship”.

It is a somewhat uneasy one, though, as seen by Apple’s move to shift significant parts of its production from China to India.
