Apple loses bid to ban Samsung devices in US

Apple loses bid to ban Samsung devices in US:

SAN JOSE:Samsung from selling 23 older-model smartphones and tablets that a jury found infringed on patents held by the maker of iPhones and iPads.

A US judge has denied Apple's request to permanently ban

Judge Lucy Koh said Apple Inc failed to prove that the South Korean company's patent infringement caused irreparable harm to Apple sales.

The ruling came as the world's two biggest smartphone makers prepare to go to court again later this month - this time over Apple's allegations that Samsung's newest devices, such as its Galaxy S III, also copied Apple technology.

The ruling stemmed from a 2012 verdict in which a jury agreed with Apple that Samsung had infringed touchscreen features.

However, Koh on Thursday denied Apple's request for a permanent injunction to stop Samsung from selling the products, saying she was not convinced those features drove consumer demand.

Apple has argued in courts, government tribunals and regulatory agencies around the world that Samsung's Android-based phones copy vital iPhone features. Samsung has fought back with its own complaints that some key Apple patents are invalid and that Apple has copied Samsung's technology.

Apple launches TD-LTE iPad Air and Mini for China

If you're living in China and missing out on the 4G action on your iPad Air or Mini , the good news is that the TD-LTE model of both slates are now available . Both the Air and Mini sport a different model number -- A1476 and A1491 -- and are meant to work on the China Mobile 4G network. Both TD-LTE slates will be sold alongside current models in China (which are actually the global versions and will work with most LTE networks around the world). The 16GB model of the TD-LTE Air and Mini will have the same starting price of 4,488 Chinese Yuan ($772) and 3,788 Chinese Yuan ($610) respectively. Outside of China, the TD-LTE Air and Mini will still be able to connect to 3G networks, but you likely won't be able to hop on a 4G network (unless it uses TD-LTE with the same bands). For those on a holiday in China and thinking of grabbing an Apple tablet to take home, be sure not to get the wrong model.
