EsU.S. mobile phone imports grew 9.2% in June after falling for most of the past year. This resulted from increased imports from China, though apparently not from Apple-supplier Foxconn. Imports were boosted by shipments from South Korea and Vietnam, suggesting phones from Samsung Electronics and possibly LG Electronics remain in favor. The peak phone import season for the year has yet to come though.
