Google apparently suspending some business with Huawei.
- Thread starter biron_w
- Start date
ecosystem .. we though Nokia would last forever.
.. googles 'present' of offering Android to the world is not an ultruistic gift, they get revenue from the Apps ~$10Bn/yr - it's like facebook adage you're the product.
But, I'm not without empathy for Trump, if you have listend to Alex Youngers speech, and also consider whether we would want nuclear power stations, or military hardware designed by the chinese, why is 5g so different in strategic importance; look at the mayhem when the ericsson/o2 network went down a while back.

I suspect they'd try and get out of it to be honest and claim its outwith their control.....

Would be "interesting" if they decided to do something like ban Apple from manufacturing in China...
Care to expand - what was the relevance to the thread/post you quoted?

I literally bought an honor play 31 days ago from the rain forest site, and now it's out of return window, brilliant. I suspect this will be an expensive brick soon 
Interesting times ahead. I'm thinking handset manufacturers that get banned will have to rely on a different version of mobile OS outside of USA influence. If they do well, these handsets might dominate mid and low end markets outside of USA, forcing the creation of a new mobile OS that will compete with Android and IOS market share.

I think so too. It rides on the back of 5g and spying, it makes good strategic sense to not have your biggest future enemy build your infrastructure, but it also fits in nicely as another nice little slap to the trade war.
Also as a top revenue earner, I wouldn't be seen dead with anything but a top of the range apple iPhone. They exhibit all of the quality associated with people of top calibre incomes. I wish Gucci made a phone.

You'll have to slum it with a Gucci case. https://www.gucci.com/int/en/pr/men...cci-print-iphone-x/xs-case-p-54908092E008161#

The typical response of a low revenue earner with no aspirations to be top.

OnePlus are also Chinese so I'd wait a few days to see how this plays out.

Chinese yes but it's the security concerns of Huawei was why they were targeted. Rightly or wrongly it's all politics
From what i have read it's got almost nothing to do with them being Chinese and everything to do with being on that entity list. Oneplus aren't on it.
