Obama administration overrules Apple import ban
None
President Obama's trade representative has vetoed a ban on imports of some Apple iPads and older iPhones, reversing a ruling in favor of rival Samsung Electronics.
US Trade Representative Michael Froman overruled on Saturday a June decision by the US International Trade Commission. The commission banned imports of the iPhone 4 and some variants of the iPad 2 when it ruled that the Chinese-made Apple devices violate a patent held by Samsung. (AP)
