The move, which also comes after Apple announced plans for an iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 7s, makes it clear that Apple wants to see Apple's Android operating system continue to evolve, and that the company has a legitimate interest in seeing the OS as open and compatible with Apple's own OS, the operating system of which is called Android.

Qualcomm has also announced it is working with Google to find ways to get rid of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, which is being sold on its own with no license to modify it, and to bring the Note 8 to market.

Although the company has expressed its desire to change the design of its mobile OS, it has not offered the Android operating system directly to the iPhone 7 Plus and Galaxy S7 edge, which were due to appear in stores on March 7.

While the move may have been an unnecessary one, the fact that Qualcomm is fighting the ban suggests that it is willing to work with other companies that have the potential to make new versions of its operating system available to consumers. And it's likely that the Chinese court will also take another look at Android.This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form.
