Apple is such a hypocrite:
Rockstar Consortium Inc., originally named Rockstar Bidco, is a consortium formed to negotiate licensing for patents acquired from the bankrupt multinational telecommunications and data networking equipment manufacturer Nortel. Members of the consortium are Apple Inc., BlackBerry, Ericsson, Microsoft, and Sony.
In 2012, Business Insider listed Rockstar as number 3 on its list of the 8 most fearsome patent trolls in industry. Wired magazine notes that some call them a "straight-up patent troll".
In October 2013, Rockstar had initiated legal action against eight companies, including Google, Huawei and Samsung, as well as other makers of Android phones including Asustek, HTC, LG Electronics, Pantech, and ZTE.

This is not what a patent troll is.
Rockstar was formed by companies deeply invested in the Nortel technology, ie. fucking PHONE COMPANIES.
Patent trolls buy up patents with the intent of filing lawsuits, not making actual products based on them.
Nokia has be out of the phone business since Microsoft bought them, in fact it was part of the deal of the sale, they literally couldn't make phones for two years after the deal went through.
Now they're floundering trying to come up with a new business to resurrect the Nokia brand, and all they're doing is trying to extort Apple by not allowing them to renew their previously fair patent deals.
Who fucking cares.
A lot of people just want a good old affordable and reliable nokia product.
Good riddance Apple.
The phone market is going downhill so much that normies are buying chinks like Huawei and being "happy" about them.
>apple removes nokia products from their shops
apple was selling nokia products?
