The Obama administration has overturned a U.S. trade panel's ban on the sale of some older best iphone 4s accessories and iPads, reversing a ruling that had favored Samsung Electronics Co Ltd over Apple Inc in their long-running patent battles.

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
