Ban of iPhone sales in Germany

Qualcomm enforces court order to ban iPhone sales in Germany

Qualcomm has completed the last step in a legal process which means a court order is now in force which bans the sale of select iPhone models in Germany.
Qualcomm posted bonds of 1.34 billion euros to finalise the process as part of a legal requirement to enforce a court order which would likely see Apple withdraw all iPhone models in Germany which infringe on Qualcomm's patent, Reuters reports.
A Munich court ruled on December 20 that Apple had infringed on a Qualcomm patent related to its modems - an envelope tracking patent which is vital in the conservation of battery power while the modem is active.
Following the court ruling, Apple said it would pull iPhone 7 and 8 models from its 15 retail stores in Germany when the order came in to force, which happened after Qualcomm posted the bonds.
According to Qualcomm, the order states that Apple must also recall infringing models from third-party resellers in Germany. Apple has said it will be appealing the decision.

Samsung Galaxy S8 users report phone randomly restarting, no clear fix yet

Galaxy S8 and S8+ devices have been randomly restarting, and that's not the only issue. The S8's success is critical for Samsung-is it dropping the ball?

Reports of random reboots have started trickling into the XDA Developers forums andSamsung's own Galaxy S8 forum. The restarts are happening at random times on multiple carriers and with both S8 and S8+ devices.

Recommendations for how to fix the issue have been numerous: Remove the SD card, move installed apps to the onboard memory, run device maintenance and delete apps it flags ... and none of them seems to consistently work.
