On Wednesday, March 13th, the U.S. International
Trade Commission announced the delay of the Samsun and Apple patent case till
May 31st. The ITC is “[giving] industry experts a chance to comment
on the effect that an iPhone sales ban would have on the public.” The fact that
the ITC has decided to delay the case in order to see the potential damage on
the public, it probably already implies bad news for Apple. The ITC seems like
already ruled in favor of Samsung, if there were no potential significant
damage to the smartphone and tablet markets. No matter what the decision will
be, this case is going to have a major impact on the smartphone and tablet markets
for the future. If the ITC would rule in favor of Samsung, we might foresee the
beginning of the Apple’s sinking ship and the rise of Samsung to the top.

I read the news as well, and I do agree with you that ITC tend to believe Samsung rather than Apple. However, I don't think that would a big impact for Apple since it seems like they already have a backup plan. Apple has been translated into the other baseband chip supplier.
