"In May 2019, then-United States President Donald Trump announced that HUAWEI and several other Chinese companies were now on the “Entity List.” Companies on this list cannot do business with any organization that operates in the United States."

Oh good golly it's going to be a wonderful day today!

Edit: as ahornsirup pointed out, this isn't really relevant. I got crossed up searching HTC with Huawei somewhere along the line.

    Just like so many other things, I'm sure that bit will be buried.

    Well, HTC is Taiwanese so there really isn't much of a story there.

    Facepalm

    Wow, my google-fu failed me pretty spectacularly. I was searching the HTC ban for patent infringement from Apple and at some point crossed with Huawei.

    Though having said that, hey Apple, does that camera protrusion look familiar? Ask your lawyers!
