We are clear that this is not news that directly affects companies like Apple but in this case it will surely affect indirectly. On the one hand, it must be made clear that the companies that have suspended their relations with the Chinese firm do so indefinitely and, on the other hand, it should be noted that this end of relations It is caused by the US government of Donald Trump, which added the Chinese firm to the blacklist.
This can be a domino effect and both Apple and other US manufacturers may be affected by this issue in the near future, for now. Google, a subsidiary of Alphabet, has suspended its ties with Huawei and this means that they will not share more hardware and software products, except those covered by open source licenses that any firm can use without problem on their devices.
Huawei will lose its access to applications such as Gmail or Google Play Store
And it is that this veto what it does is that in addition to lose Android support Officially, the Chinese company will also lose applications and services that are directly related to software such as Apple's Google Play Store or Gmail in the next versions for its smart devices outside of China. This hard blow will surely have retaliation by the Chinese government and we can already say that it is not good for users who want to buy a device from the brand.
The thing is not left to Google only and is that other US manufacturers have already announced that they will not carry out operations of any kind with Huawei until further notice, these firms are important for the production of devices in Huawei, such as: Qualcomm, Broadcom, Intel or Xilinx, among others, as we can read in Bloomberg. This may be a measure that directly affects the production of devices in Huawei but the firm already announced that it has a "plan B" for both software and hardware, so it is possible that we will soon have important news in this regard. What is clear is that this battle between governments will affect the whole world.
