AppleInsider StaffAs part of his first U.S. tour, Cameron will take part in a White House dinner where a number of British elites and other guests are planned to take part in a meet and greet with President Obama, reports The Guardian.
Gathering at the nation's capitol with Ive will be other big names familiar to the U.S. public including Sir Richard Branson, golfer Rory McIlroy, musical group Mumford & Sons, and actors Damian Lewis and Hugh Bonneville.
Ive, who has worked for Apple for over 19 years, was a close confidant to the company's late co-founder Steve Jobs. In an interview for his biography, Jobs said that "there's no one who can tell [Ive} what to do. That's the way I set it up.'"
In December 2011, Ive's status was upgraded from Commander of the British Empire to Knight Commander of the British Empire.
The White House dinner is scheduled to take place on Wednesday night.

...this just in: Alleged "iPhone 5" prototype found in Oval Office.
I wonder if Jony will take an iPad 3rd generation or two with him.
Kind of low on the celebrity quotient. George Clooney was the best they could do and he's not even British.
I wonder when Obama will switch to iPhone. It's not like BB is the making a killer product these days and Apple is an American company. I wouldn't be surprise if Ives will be in charge in making that happen.

Nice timing, Obama.
"Cameron", hmm ....?
A Taffy, that one.
