Erdogan says Turkey to boycott iPhone, other US electronics

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says his country will boycott US-made electronic goods amid a diplomatic spat that has helped trigger a Turkish currency crisis. Showing no signs of backing down in the standoff, Erdogan suggested that Turkey would stop procuring US-made iPhones and buy Korean Samsung or Turkish-made Vestel instead. Erdogan also renewed a call for Turks to convert their dollars into the Turkish lira, to help strengthen the currency. (AP)
