Cupertino adds four more devices to its blacklisted Samsung phones

Apple has added four more Samsung smartphones to the list of devices it seeks to get banned in the United States, following a costly legal battle.

After winning its patent suit with Samsung, forcing the latter to cough up in excess of $1 billion (around €850 million), Apple released a preliminary list of Samsung devices that it wanted banned in the US.

That list named a total of 8 models, including the Galaxy S 4G, the Galaxy S2 (AT&T), the Galaxy S2 (Skyrocket), the Galaxy S2 (T-Mobile), the Galaxy S2 Epic 4G, the Galaxy S Showcase, the Droid Charge, and the Galaxy Prevail.

The Cupertino giant has just added four more handsets to that list, including the popular Galaxy S III.

If Apple gets the injunction approved, Samsung will no longer be able to sell the S III in the States, which will undoubtedly affect the Korean company’s bottom line this quarter, and the next.
