People making out slow security updates are the end of the world. They are still people running ancient phones without issue.
Google apparently suspending some business with Huawei.

Of course, the US doesn't like China rising to power and surpass them. Unlike Apple and Google who are American based companies, the US can't see what Huawei is doing so they are a easy target.
Once Huawei is out the way they will go for another non US based tech company.
It's bit just China you know there are a lot on the entity list even from the UK.
Up to US who they deal with so all fair if you ask me, US has always hugely preferred Made in America to anything else.

I was waiting to get 9.1 on my P20pro but I guess that's unlikely.

temporary deal sorted by the look of it
its already costing US firms money
I suspect this was not a well thought out idea
I reckon they will come to some sort of arrangement

Oh well. Just took the Mrs honor play back and she now has a pixel 2xl. Even if something does get sorted I still wouldn't consider Huawei now if I were in the market.

Of course it will be sorted, 33 of Huawei's suppliers are from the US or headquartered in the US.
It's an ill thought out and stupid Trump policy which has all the hallmarks of being lobbyists dictating policy because 'China'.
The fact that there is not one shred of evidence to back up any of these spying claims and it's got this far is quite frankly astonishing.

I'm really surprised by some peoples knee jerk reactions in this thread. People are acting like they're about to lose a limb. ******* weird.
I remember being in college when a friend had just got the new Prada phone. Looked like something from the future when he brought it in

I'm also waiting for 9.1 but I'm thinking surely that update would have been passed already from googles side?

wife was worried about this on her new phone I pointed out he previous phone (used up until last week) was on version 5.1
Won't be an issue, you might not get new versions of Android but should still get fixes/security updates and existing services aren't going anywhere. Your phone is a certified device, they aren't revoking that.
Soldato
It is quite unbelievable, basically if you can own the phone now the worst thing is that you might not get some OS updates. Your phone wont suddenly be brick and will still continue to be the phone you bought.
New unreleased phones however, thats up for debate.
They are asking you to drop £700 on there phone, I think poeple have a very good right to be wanting to get rid of a defunct product that is at best sitting in a grey area.

Could the US not have said to Huawei that they can trade but they want to test all the equipment and software. Kind of like the TUV is Germany but with IP rights? (Correct me if I am wrong)
