SAN FRANCISCO  Jaquiski Tartt Womens Jersey , Jan. 5 (Xinhua) -- U.S. top tech company Apple Inc.'s offer to replace iPhone batteries at lower prices could cut sales by millions of units this year, Bloomberg reported Thursday.

The report quoted Barclays' analyst Mark Moskowitz as saying that Apple could lose 16 million iPhone upgrades in 2018, as more people would take the 29-U.S.-dollar battery offer and decide not to buy a new iPhone.

Last week, Apple apologized for slowing down the performance of old-version iPhones with older batteries  Arik Armstead Womens Jersey , which has already drawn multiple lawsuits.

The unannounced move by Apple has aroused anger among some Apple customers, who regarded Apple's secret handling of iPhones with older batteries as a trick to force them to buy newer but more expensive Apple devices.

In response to consumer outrage, Apple said it will cut 50 dollars from the out-of-warranty iPhone battery replacement for the next year.

HONG KONG, Jan. 17 (Xinhua) -- The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is not a ""China's bank  DeForest Buckner Womens Jersey ,"" but a multilateral development institution operating by international standards, AIIB President Jin Liqun said at a financial forum in Hong Kong.

""AIIB is a bank initiated by China, but it's not a 'China's bank',"" Jin said  Joe Williams Womens Jersey , adding that AIIB, which was created through negotiations of all the 57 founding member countries and now has 84 members, is a multilateral development bank ""operating by international standards and with 21-century governance.""

""We will work with all the countries regardless of their membership ... We recruit professionals from across the world ... (and) we have international competitive bidding (that) any company can participate,"" Jin said in a dialogue on the impact of China's policies on global economic development during the two-day Asian Financial Forum that concluded on Tuesday.

According to Jin  C.J. Beathard Womens Jersey , China's idea to propose this new bank is ""to supplement the efforts of existing institutions like the World Bank and ADB.""

On the relationship between AIIB and other Chinese-proposed initiatives such as the Belt and Road Initiative, Jin said that since lots of projects related to the initiative are for AIIB member countries, the bank is ""duty-bound"" to support these projects.

However, he stressed that AIIB will consider financing the projects only if they are financially sustainable  Ahkello Witherspoon Womens Jersey , environmentally friendly and acceptable to local people.

""We are not going to do loss-making business ... We are not going to do an infrastructure project leaving a big footprint in the environment ... (and) we should bring benefit to the local people, not to create problems,"" Jin said.
