Huawei CEO praises iPhone ecosystem, says even bought them for his family

Even as Huawei’s phones and computers face an uncertain future in the global markets given the President Trump’s ban on Chinese companies, in China the trade war is also taking on a patriotic fever. The ban on Huawei means that many Chinese users are supporting the company, and Apple’s iPhones are expected to take a hit on this. However, Huawei’s chairman Ren Zhengfei has tried to quell some of this nationalist zeal surrounding the company’s phones.

Ren was quoted by the South China Morning Post as saying that one cannot associate patriotism with buying Huawei phones. He also revealed that he has himself bought iPhones for his family, when they are aboard.
