Halt iPhone 6 sale in China capital: court

A Beijing tribunal has ordered Apple Inc to stop selling two versions of its iPhone 6 in the Chinese capital city, the company says.

A Chinese regulator has ordered Apple Inc to stop selling two versions of its iPhone 6 in the city of Beijing after finding it looks too much like a competitor, but Apple says sales are going ahead while it appeals.

The order by the Beijing tribunal said the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus looked too much like the 100C model made by Shenzhen Beili, a small Chinese brand. The order was issued in May but reported this week by the Chinese press.

Apple said a Beijing court stayed the administrative order on appeal and the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus still were on sale.
