The import ban on certain older iPhone models was set to come into effect the week of 05 August, based on an ITC ruling in June. The government had 60 days from the ruling to uphold or veto the decision. Michael Froman, the US trade representative who announced the import ban would not take effect, said the decision was in line with the government's recent policy statement on ensuring standards-essential patents are not used to distort market competition.
