A week after drama started surrounding a rumored iPhone sales ban in China, the country has now made an official statement denying that there is one in place — but device security may be an issue.
Less than a week after a vague statement by China’s foreign ministry, and just hours after the iPhone 15 debut, the country has slightly clarified its position on the iPhone ban reports. There appears to be no official ban at any level on Apple’s iPhone.”China has not issued laws, regulations or policy documents that prohibit the purchase and use of foreign brand phones such as Apple’s,” foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning told a press gaggle. “But, recently we did notice a lot of media exposure of security incidents related to Apple’s phones.”
