Beijing's intellectual property court accepted an appeal by Apple to review the ruling behind the sales ban. The sales ban was justified on the belief that the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus devices are too similar to the 100C - a smartphone manufactured by China-based Shenzhen Baili. A court ruling made the verdict to ban iPhone 6 sales back in May but was only recently reported by Chinese media sources. An Apple spokesman was quoted by the publication as saying that iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6s, 6s Plus and SE iPhone devices are "all available for sale today in China." "We appealed an administrative order from a regional patent tribunal in Beijing last month, and as a result the order has been stayed pending review by the Beijing IP Court," the Apple spokesman also said. Shares of Apple were trading higher by more than 1 percent after Monday's opening bell.
