What&#8217;s interesting about yesterday&#8217;s move is that while the ITC has started investigating Apple, they haven&#8217;t yet taken a similar measure against Nokia, despite Apple&#8217;s similar complaints.<\/p>\n<p>Where does this leave us? Well, while the ITC <em>can<\/em> ban the sale of iPhones in the US, there&#8217;s no way Apple would ever let that happen. All the wrangling is ultimately over over which company is going to owe the other hundreds of millions of dollars. It&#8217;s a process that&#8217;ll take months to play out, but so far it looks like Apple&#8217;s on the losing side of the ledger.
