Samsung and HTC are waiting for iPhone 5

Today will be welcome to many presentation of the 6th generation smartphone from Apple - iPhone 5. With great trepidation this presentation offers lawyers Samsung and HTC: if the new iPhone will support networks LTE, then Apple gets into an interesting situation.


Samsung has more than 12% of all patent rights, one way or another related to LTE, and HTC recently purchased 2 more LTE-patent. HTC representatives said they did not slow down with the filing of lawsuits against Apple, in the case of such a possibility.

HTC has a very good chance to achieve in the International Trade Commission ITC ban sales of the new iPhone 5 in the U.S., as it is primarily about patents registered in the United States. So, it may soon come the next round of the patent war against Apple.

Apple revenge Samsung

... A decline in orders for the supply of memory chips for the upcoming iPhone 5.



According to the Korea Economic Daily, Apple removed the name from a list of Samsung memory chips for the first batch of the new iPhone. According to the "Reuters", Cupertino only reduced the size of their orders.

Korean giant is a key partner for the supply of critical components for the iPhone 5, including processors, displays, memory chips. But Apple in the light of large-scale trials with Seoul is trying to spread the supply chain components among different companies. Thus, if the RAM chips and flash memory is actually only one supplied by Samsung, now they are engaged Toshiba, Elpida and SK Hynix. But the batteries now have to do with the Koreans and the Chinese and Japanese Amperex Technology Panasonic. Supply of displays for the iPhone 5 is largely are coming from LG, a leading competitor Samsung.

Americans began buying large quantities Samsung smartphones

According to a large U.S. company Gazelle, in the last few days, a 50% increase in demand for smartphones Samsung. According to experts, if the trend continues, the price of Samsung company will begin to decline. "Consumers want to have time to get on board the ship," - says Anthony Skarsella of Gazelle.

Skarsella reminded of the judgment in favor of Apple, which accuses Samsung of violating patents. According to experts, because it future smartphones Samsung «would be very different," no more "functions that users are so used to Android», that is pushing for the purchase of the "classic" of Samsung company.

As experts MarketWatch, Samsung adds problems and early announcement of the iPhone 5, which, coupled with the decision of the court, Apple will significantly strengthen its position in the U.S. market. In addition, in December, will consider a ban on U.S. imports of products of Korean companies. Last, we recall, is ready to modify some smartphone models.

iFixit: Apple has a lot to learn from Samsung

Despite the fact that the filling device, manufactured by Apple, packed inside the device carefully, logically, and I can even say beautiful, the company is not very much and loves to people climbed into gadgets. This situation is particularly evident in recent years, as a known resource iFixit has put all Apple devices from lower estimates for repairable units.

He made his debut last week, Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 also fell into the hands of iFixit, who immediately pulled down the tablet to the last screw. Specialists of the company noted that Apple has a lot to learn from Samsung, as it turned out to disassemble novelty quite nicely. First of all, the staff iFixit noted that Samsung uses "good" screws Phillips, not abuse from attaching parts, as well as the device uses a modular system of arrangement of parts, which makes it easier to disassemble and repair equipment.

Unlike the iPad, which has got only two points out of a possible 10, Galaxy Note 10.1 received as many as 8 points from specialists iFixit, who pointed out that the inside of the new tablet can be accessed easily and is easy to solve the problem.

Samsung acknowledged that the Galaxy is not as cool as the iPhone

We are up to Apple, as the moon, as if we are told in the Samsung, giving the court a document of 132 pages, explaining that it was her Galaxy (in this case, the first generation Samsung Galaxy, about which including the ongoing debate) is similar on your iPhone, it would have been much steeper.

In general, we should admit that Samsung has gone the right way. If a company is accused of copying, then to prove that it is not, should hit the sore spots. In this case, these are the moments of the user interface in which the iPhone and the Galaxy are different.

The Korean company has approached this issue very seriously and thoroughly studying the interface of the iPhone and Galaxy, outlined in great detail every moment in which her phone not only similar, but inferior to the smartphone Apple.


Among such examples are possible, which has the Annex "Notes" (pictured above). The iPhone application is much more perfect, as it allows to pass on saved links, make calls and send messages to the specified address, only referring URL, phone number or an email. Galaxy In a similar application is not able to do the above. The user can just select the text (the address of email, URL, phone number) and insert in the appropriate field in the desired application.

Thus it turns out that if the Galaxy had all those features that have iPhone (for some reason in the interpretation of Samsung i-Phone), it would have been at least as cool as a smartphone Apple.
