New iPhone 5S and 5C photos leak from China

As the anticipated early fall announcement nears, the leaks of the (still rumored) iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S devices from Apple continue to pop up. The latest from China's variant of Twitter - Weibo - shows the two new models next to the iPhone 5. The devices in question are obviously dummy devices without a working display, but it gives us a good idea of their general dimensions.
It's been speculated that the new budget 5C model and the 5S will feature larger displays to appease customer demands, but judging by these images the screen will remain at the same size. Hopefully we'll find out for certain soon enough as less than a month remains until the expected September 10 announcement date. However, it may be longer still until actual device shipment, as some sources say we might see the new devices as late as October.

Obama Administration Vetoes Apple Product Ban

The Obama administration on Saturday issued a veto on a proposed potential ban on a number of Apple products in the U.S., including some iPhones and iPad devices.

“After extensive consultations with the agencies of the Trade Policy Staff Committee and the Trade Policy Review Group … I have decided to disapprove the USITC’s determination to issue an exclusion order and cease and desist order in this investigation,” a letter from the U.S. government to United States International Trade Commission Chairman Irving A. Williamson said.

The president’s veto comes in response to a ruling made by the USITC in June, granting the South Korean electronics giant Samsung’s request for an import ban on older iPhones and iPads, which the ITC found to infringe one of Samsung’s standards-essential patents. The order would have affected only AT&T iPhone models prior to the 4S, as well as the iPad 2 and earlier iPad versions.

“We applaud the administration for standing up for innovation in this landmark case. Samsung was wrong to abuse the patent system in this way,” an Apple spokeswoman toldAllThingsD.

Update 1:26 pm PT: A Samsung spokesman provided AllThingsD with the following comment: “We are disappointed that the U.S. Trade Representative has decided to set aside the exclusion order issued by the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC). The ITC’s decision correctly recognized that Samsung has been negotiating in good faith and that Apple remains unwilling to take a license.”

Apple was involved in an ongoing appeals process to overturn the ITC’s June ruling, arguing that the decision would cause “long-term, dynamic harm” to competition and innovation. The ITC was expected to deliver its final ruling on the appeal on Aug. 9.

As The Wall Street Journal noted, this is the first time an administration has vetoed a product ban ruling by the ITC since the Reagan administration issued a veto in 1987.

“The Administration is committed to promoting innovation and economic progress, including through providing adequate and effective protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights,” the letter said.

Samsung is still free to pursue further litigation and patent-infringement claims through the courts.
