Court Orders Samsung To Show Apple Their Unreleased Devices
A recent court ruling has ordered Samsung to turn over five of their unreleased devices – phones and/or tablets – to Apple for inspection before Apple makes their decision whether or not to file a preliminary injunction.
A little bit of background regarding this issue for those who are unfamiliar. This is part of an ongoing ligitation between Apple and Samsung with the former accusing the latter that they had ripped off design elements from their iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad devices, to be used in the design of the Samsung Nexus S Epic 4G, Galaxy S 4G and Galaxy Tab. So now what this means is that Samsung will now have to present the Galaxy S2, Galaxy Tab 8.9, Galaxy Tab 10.1, Infuse 4G, and Droid Charge to Apple, but only for outside counsel, which means Steve Jobs, Apple’s engineers and internal lawyers will not be able to get their hands on them, which seems like a pretty fair decision.
If you are a Samsung product owner do you feel that this has tarnished the company’s image? There have been several side-by-side comparisons with the iOS devices which make some pretty convincing arguments, but let’s wait and see how Samsung rebounds from this.
Now here’s an iPhone 6S case that will certainly turn heads, especially when you take into consideration its name which is known as the OnePlus iPhone 6S case. That’s rather weird, don’t you think so? It will certainly take some getting used to before the name rolls off your tongue naturally. Well, we do know that The OnePlus iPhone 6S case can now be purchased for $19.99 a pop, and no, you do not need any kind of invite before you can snag one for yourself.
Each purchase will also be accompanied by an invitation to purchase a OnePlus X, just in case, you know, you would like to tread the Android waters. All in all, it comes in the kind of material as found on the OnePlus One and OnePlus X, which makes it a whole lot harder to lose grip of when you hold it – which is good!
If you are on the lookout for either the iPhone 6S or the iPhone 6S Plus, then here is news for you – chances are pretty high that you can pick up either one, or perhaps even both if you are feeling fat in the pocket, this coming September 18th. First of all, there was a leaked internal memo from Vodafone alongside Japanese site ITHome and German tech experts Macerkopf claiming that the new iPhones 6S models will roll out this coming September 18th in their respective countries
With Japan, Germany and the UK being tier one Apple launch countries, this means that those living in the mentioned countries will receive the iPhones at the same time as folks living over in the US – traditionally speaking, of course. There really isn’t that much time left to wait, as it is less than a month away, and I am quite sure that the time will pass by sooner than you think.
It looks like the folks over at Digitimes have come up with their own interpretation of things to come – that there will be no iPad Air 3 released, at least for this year. Digitimes has had their fair share of hits and misses in the past, so it would be best to take this rumor concerning the non-release of the iPad Air 3 in 2015 with a pinch of salt.
Digitimes also laid claim that the iPad mini 4 will not be as supercharged as some of the rumors that had been going around, as it will bring with it only small and incremental upgrades when compared to its predecessor, the iPad mini 3. This does not seem to bode well for fans of the compact tablet, taking into consideration how the iPad mini 3 itself was improved over its predecessor with a new Touch ID fingerprint reader.
Since Apple tends to roll out a new iPad in October, we will just have to sit tight and see whether this particular rumor has enough “legs” to run.
