How is Apple getting the CBP to seize products legally produced by competitors with no Apple branding or IP infringement anything but an "exploit"?
We're not talking about counterfeits here. We're talking about products from recognizable competitors like OnePlus.
And why should Apple get to claim "counterfeit" for products just because they internally include components which were produced by Apple? The products are not passing themselves off as being made by Apple.
None of this aligns with actual trademark law in the US. Whether or not payola is involved, the CBP is clearly abusing their power and Apple is taking advantage of it to unfairly harm competitors.
