The U.S. International Trade Commission in June banned the import or sale of the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad 3G and iPad 2 3G distributed by AT&T Inc, saying the devices infringed a patent owned by the South Korean electronics giant.The Apple products targeted by the ITC ban are more than a year old, though some models such as the iPhone 4 remain solid sellers. Apple sells more than 100 million iPhones annually, but it does not break down sales by models.
Apple and Samsung have been waging a global patent war since 2010, filing multiple lawsuits against each other over the design and functionality of their devices.Apple has a parallel complaint filed against Samsung at the ITC, accusing the South Korean company of copying the iPhone and iPad. An ITC judge in that case found that Samsung had violated one patent but not a second one. A final decision is due in August.
Samsung makes phones that run on Google Inc's Android operating software, the market leader. Apple has also sued other Android phone makers including HTC Corp for patent infringement.However, someone decided to ignore Bieber's warning and throw a cell phone on stage at the singer. The singer reacted by putting the phone down his pants. "I said don't throw stuff on stage and this is what they throw - a phone on stage," Bieber told his audience. "I mean, I do need a new iPhone."jh4SfDFs
We have seen a lot of love for high-end smartphones over the past couple of years, but some brands like Apple lose out to a massive number of shoppers looking for something a little cheaper. While we don’t believe Apple would want to be selling cheap phones, we know they are now interested in offering a phone at a lower price point and also one that keeps the higher price tag like an iPhone 6 or 5S in metal and the best in specs.
We have heard a lot of details in regard to a high-end 7th generation iPhone and seen full specs for the iPhone phone, but this week has seen more rumors pointing towards an iPhone 5C in a number of colors, plastic design an with an 8MP camera.
This news has been joined by solid details of a budget iPhone phone. Users that don’t want to pay the current price tag for cool ipad accessories will be happy to know that Motorola’s CEO has pointed towards a cheaper version of the smartphone to release in the next couple of months.It looks like we could see a iPhone phone vs. a budget iPhone 5 and a few so-called Mini phones all competing for the lower price bracket at the end of this year.
We have included a video below this article with a quick Motorola iPhone vs. Apple iPhone 5 hands-on, which is good for those of our readers that want to see these smartphones side-by-side. It is also good to remember that the iPhone 5 is almost one year old, and about to be replaced by cheaper and higher end versions if the latest rumors are correct.
