Samsung Wants Apple’s iPhone 5 And iPad 3
It looks as though Samsung will not be taking Apple’s lawsuit lying down as they have responded to the court order that they hand over their upcoming devices to Apple for discovery purposes. Now Samsung wants to have a look at what Apple is cooking up, as we can see in the picture about, Samsung has filed for a request that Apple turn over the iPhone 4S or iPhone 5 and the iPad 3, also for discovery purposes.
Samsung’s reason? “Internet reports suggest Apple will be releasing the next version of the iPhone in September, and the next version of the iPad later this year.” This doesn’t really make sense on Samsung’s part because it was Apple that sued Samsung for patent infringement, so what reason would Samsung have for wanting to see Apple’s upcoming releases? If the court did allow this request, it could potentially lead to another patent infringement lawsuit, unless of course Samsung’s upcoming products look nothing like the iPhone 4S/5 or iPad 3.
With this latest piece of news one has to wonder how it will affect the relationship between the two companies, with Samsung being one of the companies that manufacturers the LCD screens for the iPad 2, and I guess that also quashes the rumor that Apple is trying to persuade Samsung to use their AMOLED displays for the iPad 3. After all, why would you sell your technology to a company that is currently suing you for patent infringement, right? In any case if legal documents are your thing, or if you want to know more details you can check out the filing in its entirety here, courtesy of ZDNet.
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.
