I never understood this patent battle between the two, because doesn't Apple rely on/use Samsung for much of their hardware, especially their displays (which are the main feature they always boast in their new generation devices)???

I agree, I just do not get their business partnership at all. I guess the bottom line is in the end if Samsung is making enough money off if Apple they really don't care how they are treated.
Keep your friends close but your enemies closer?
Samsung is a huge company with many branches. So if it's anything like the place I work at, each division takes care of themselves and will completely screw another division over if it means THEY will meet their numbers and get a better bonus.
I'm pretty sure Samsung makes a lot more money on anything Apple uses for the iPad than what they do on sales of their Galaxy Tabs.

Good!. I hope Apple REALLY wins this one. This will TEACH samsung to really think out of the box and REALLY come out with their own stuff any not try to be like apple. Just look at the GS3 and that middle button. You will think in this day and age they will do away with the damn button and go virtual like nexus.

Samsung Electronics Co. (005930) will supply the touch screen for Apple Inc. (AAPL)’s new iPad after LG Display Co. (034220) and Sharp Corp. (6753) didn’t meet the U.S. company’s quality requirements, according to an analyst with iSuppli.
Samsung, the world’s top flat-panel maker, currently is the sole vendor of the display for the 9.7-inch device, said Vinita Jakhanwal, a senior manager at iSuppli, a unit of Englewood, Colorado-based IHS Inc.

Prying off the glass cover and Retina screen revealed the part numbers for the display panel. It appears to be made by Samsung, with part numbers matching a pattern used for previous Samsung panels. Rumors had suggested that LG and Sharp were also considered as suppliers for the iPad 3's 9.7" 2048x1536 pixel display, though it seems that Samsung is the only supplier pumping out enough volume for Apple at launch.

I find it great that apple completely copies features from the Android os and steals apps from 3rd party iOS developers that have been around for months or even years, claim them as their latest innovations and yet has the nerve to say something about someone stealing their intellectual property.

Yea....can't groove with that GUI
I wouldn't switch over from Android and it would be hard to make the switch even if something better came out.
Mostly it's because of apps. I think Apps should go the way of blu-ray. If you buy the blu-ray, you get the DVD and the Digital Download as well.
Fact is I was one of the owners of the Palm Pre... I also own an iPod Touch.
There are certain apps that I paid for on my iPod, my Palm Pre, and now on my Android. I wouldn't switch platforms a this point just because of the sheer investment I have made in Apps for the Android.... It's a shame.
Same way I thought the Zune was great, but I already had such an investment with my Bose Sound Dock and all sorts of other iPod only connections and cables that I just stayed with Apple.
I can totally see this happening. This is the kind of crap I would expect them to do.
Please god give the nexus on sprint soon. This is Samsung at its best.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
I happened to love the Palm Pre at the time. The hardware was horrible but the software was great.
I also have a big investment in apps now Andriod. If they go their own way with an OS hopefully they will make it able to accept Android apps. It would be a smart move.
Personally I think it is a little late in the smartphone game to bring in a new OS with no app library. App developers will be reluctant to make apps for a new OS.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I think Samsung might use Tizen for some of their devices but as this OS is far from perfect I think Samsung won't switch Galaxy S3 to it. Instead they could test it on lower level devices and maybe if the system is ready they could pre-install it on next years Galaxy flagship device.
For me this sounds more like marketing campaign for Tizen or just stupid guess
Found more information about release date: http://samsunggalaxys3review.net/samsung-galaxy-s3-release-date/
If Samsung drops Android on Galaxy S3 then I would choose another phone that does have Android.
Basically Motorola or HTC would step up and produce a nice Android phone that others would go to. The whole reason why Samsung Galaxy S II did well was mainly because of good hardware, a version for every carrier, and Android.

I know it feels like that...but it's not. It's still early into the smartphone game....very very early. Compared to the 35 years of the "PC Game" a lot of things can happen between now and then....even though I don't they will you can't rule that possibility out, lol.
I think they are going to release it with android. Samsung is the #1 android manufacturer in the world and why would a company which only purpose is to make money change up their extremely successful formula. Why would they risk billions of dollars to introduce a new OS into the U.S.? If it ain't broke don't fix it.
If they think they can make a play to be their own ecosystem, why wouldn't they?
Sticking with android means being a commodity hardware player, selling phones at low margins while google gets 30% of app revenue from market.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
But don't you think they might try that out on less prominent phones first. Kind of test the waters and see if it will work. I just don't see them dumping a new operating system on their flagship phone. The one that put them on the map in the cell phone markets. It seems like jumping off a cliff and hoping you have wings.

Exactly, the worst that can happen is that their idea fails, they go back to the drawing board & either improve on it or fall back to what was previously working (Android), though I highly doubt they'll abandon Android all together.
Only time will tell. Honestly I'd like to see what it's all about. If the os is highly customizable, functional & not too restrictive, then good, it may turn out to be a winner.
Samsung did get offered incentives from the south Korean government to work on an in house os. I read an article from Engadget months ago explaining how the south Koreans feel with android they depend on the west too much. With androids guess manufacturers are trying to find ways to distinguish their products from the rest.
I personally feel it would be a mistake to move from the android ecosystem once android starts to really mature. But, once again from Engadget, I read an interview of a top exec from Samsung saying that the tizen chose is not definite.

Besides, many are selling their G Nexus to get the newer phones. Lots of second hand units around.
On the other hand, why bother paying millions in patents if you don't plan to use them suing your competitors' asses off. That's the whole point about IP.

Dominate? I don't know where you received your education but 30% isn't exactly dominating the market... Its not even close to leading the market. Android has been in the lead for quite sometime now and oh yeah I don't know if you got the memo but Apples visionary is dead as a doornail. Apple is in big trouble and if you think the iPhone5 is going to magically reverse the market trend and reclaim the throne for Apple then your crazier than a cockroach soaked in Raid or an Apple fanboy... either way your days are numbered. This is apples only defense against true market domination.

I got a new red s3 a few days ago and other than not being able to check for ot updates, I really like it. However, I have one big concern that has me wondering if maybe I should swap it out for a One X ($79.88 at wal mart). If Apple ends up winning the court case against Samsung, what will happen as far as future updates/upgrades/support? If Apple wins, apparently th s3 will be banned from future sales. And since they have already taken the local search function away, what other features are we likely to lose just to appease Apple?
Samsung and Apple will battle in court for the foreseeable future. The sgiii isn't going to get barred from being sold, at least not for any significant amount of time.

I got mine
Apple already put a stop to sales of one of Samsung's tablets. The s3 is next on their list. But I already have one so that part doesn't concern me. What does concern me is support for the s3 if Samsung is banned from selling it. It is hard to imagine them supporting a product that they can't sell. Plus, if the software is also banned (local search), will they even be able to support it if they want to?
Umm they really don't have anything to go after the SGS3 for. It is not rectangular, it does not have uniform corners, and TouchWiz does not look like iOS, so what could the possible ban it for?
I know
I feel the same way. But you know how it is. I couldn't believe that Samsung took away the local search but they did. Apparently, pretty much everything from the icons to the touch screen is copied from Apple. But the s3 with its physical home button is the first Android powered phone to outsell the iPhone. Therefore it must go. Like I said, Apple got the Nexus tablet banned because it was too much like the iPad. I just don't want to be stuck with a phone that is constantly being stripped down bit by bit or completely removed from the market and nit supported at all. It's funny, though. The Apple TV sure looks like a Samsung to me. I wonder if Samsung will sue Apple?

You are on xda, you shouldnt worry about that. Devs here will do everything to add features back. atleast the common sense ones.

I mean really, Apple does not have nothing to stop the SGS3. The phone was designed to avoid being stopped by Apple. and even then, if they try to stop it via software, they cant, because all it takes is a software patch. hence the Galaxy Nexus.
When it comes down to it, Apple is scared. Android is light years better and they know it. They know that Google made an OS to rival theirs and did it better. So, if you can't beat the competition, then sue (sp.) their butt off! Apple will ALWAYS be a fanboy market...meaning all the die-hard robots that will do/buy whatever Apple tells them too. Meanwhile, Google will keep innovating and making their mobile OS truely the best on the market today.
ahh the beauty of living in canada us patents dont apply here! yippee! never have to worry about any of these stupid lawsuits. :good:
though even if they win, they cant really touch the sgs iii, apple is mainly targeting older samsung phones which imo did blatantly copy apple (talking about like the galaxy s originaly) , they have changed a lot since those days. id be surprised if they had any dirt on the siii.
They are scared of Samsung itself. They know that Samsung copied the iPhone, and lets be honest here, they copied the dam iPhone, but they produced a product a million times better than the iPhone.
Samsung has some great technology, which is why its one of Apple's "Key Partners". I have owned three Samsung devices in the last year and they all were really good. Samsung has what it takes, but it is being limited by Apple. Why do you think the SGS3 is so ugly looking? To avoid Apple and its lawsuits.

Guys you cant ban something that already has tens of millions in the wild. Apple is definitely worried, because Steve only left them so much on his notes he kept and the iphone train is going to run out of steam after the next 2 iphones you mark my words, that is all he left them.
Buy another phone if you want, nothing in life is certain, but I would not worry one minute and use the phone you want now. Its already the best thing out there as is, once JB rolls out its a done deal. They have a removable battery and SD slot, doesnt sound like an iphone clone to me...And who cares if they ban the S1, its a totally different phone and old as hell to boot, it aint gonna happen. They must stop it before its released or it just doesnt work.

Why do you need support from Samsung? Just root and install custom roms, my old HTC Hero on Telus took over a year to get an update from 1.6 to eclair, but by then I was already running a custom rom.
I didn't mean to start an apple vs Samsung vs one x discussion. Honestly, I am amazed at how far mobile phones have come since I got my first Motorola Star Tac when I was in the military. I am just concerned about the future of my s3 in the event that apple wins in court. That said, I can see where apple is coming from. However, without competition from other manufacturers, there will be very few more advancements in the industry. Especially if every time someone produces a product that may or may not be better than apple, apple sues that company into submission. Imagine how it would be if car companies did the same thing. Or even something as simple as clothes detergent. My concern is not whether or not Samsung "will" support the s3 but whether not they will be able to due to restrictions placed on them by the courts that may prevent them from having the ability to support and improve on the s3

One x is a pretty good phone. If it didn't have capacitive buttons, I'd jump on the bandwagon. flash jelly bean and I'd be set.
Makes sense to me but they're toe dipping into the phablet sizes if this is true.

Angered by the patent case that went against them in the U.S. against Apple, Samsung is said to be looking to make a strong statement by releasing the Galaxy S IV at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) event in February in Spain.
A Samsung official, which asked to remain anonymous said frankly "Samsung is ready to unveil the next Galaxy smartphone, the Galaxy S4, at early next year's mobile world congress (MWC) in the Spanish city of Barcelona."
The device is expected to hit consumer's hands by mid-March at the latest.
In the device, Samsung will use a 5-inch, flexible OLED display, the company's own Exynos processors and quad-core chips.

The timing is right. I hope they bring back UMS personally.
*edit*
So it turned out to be a rumor and the only part of the rumor that you count on to live on is expecting a galaxy S4 in 2013 (following previous release patterns) and maybe the 5" screen. At the same time I will say having Samsung " deny " the rumors at this time means sqwat. I don't know any company that confirms rumors so far in advanced.
**2nd edit**
So the source was very close to the release date as the device launched in April not March.
God. I just got this damn phone...

Thank gawd for Swappa!
I think it would be wise for samsung to wait till Q3 of 2013 to announce the galaxy s4.
They need to maximize s3 sales before announcing their next flagship.
wtttfffff :crying: 2 year contract should have waited
They come out with these phones to fast it is hard to keep up when one always wants newer and greater. Personally I really love the larger sized phones they fit my hands better. Well in a few months we should find out if the rumor is true.
I wonder what new innovation this phone will have. Let's face it Apple ain't innovating anything these days. But I don't don't like how they're making the display bigger anything 5 inches or bigger is to big imo.
That is highly doubtful. The iphone 5 is out and it wasnt impressive at all. It simply gave samsung the chance to sue apple for lte stuff used in the i- phone and magbe panorama mode and other stuff.

No they don't, they've already sold more than 20 million units.
I can see it being announced at MWC but I would highly doubt it would be available much sooner than the May/June like the S3. Also, no UMS wasn't a Samsung move it was a Google move.

No UMS is Samsung. Anyone who tells you otherwise doesn't know what they're talking about. Samsung CLEARY has the ability to turn on UMS as they have done with their Note. I know for a fact because I have the T-Mobile Note that came with ICS stock out of the box and it has UMS in addition to MTP.
Its beautiful man, it works either way and both drives are available at any given time.
Anyways I hope Samsung turns the feature back on in the S IV.
IF you want to know what Google actually said about UMS look here:

Personally (and I'm not directing this at you-general statement) I'm tired of hearing people parrot (paraprhasing) "Google doesn't support UMS". Maybe this will wake people up and demand the manufacture (Samsung) to get its act together and add the feature back.
So if you buy a Nexus then you should not expect UMS. If you buy another device with a physical SD card and/or an additional slot then you should expect UMS.
Dying to have note 2 in my hands but now i'll wait and go for samsung galaxy s 4 ...
Leaking this rumor was most likely calculated by Samsung to get some attention away from Apple with the iphone around the corner.

Perhaps samsung is using the tick tock cycle s1(somewhere in may I suppose) s2(feb) s3(may) s4(feb) otherwise it's too early to release another product this magnitude

Why is everybody so surprised? It's a yearly deal anyway... Plus whenever you buy one new phone the next new / better phone comes out pretty much right away... iPhone anyone??! That's how money is made... Samsung is not gonna bank on just one flagship device and a bunch of "knock offs" they gotta think ahead too. And we are just like iPhone users, we will buy the next big thing...
I'm sure that most of us keep our phones in very good condition and could easily sell them around that time for a decent price in order to pick up the S4 if "needed".

I keep my phones in great condition, but generally don't sell them, but give them away to family members, mostly under our family plan.
I have one upgrade remaining on my plan. Gonna see where this one ends up with the S4, and still interested in BB10.. I know call me crazy!
Honestly how much more can they pack in these things?
Also 5" is getting to big. Reason why I never went with the Note. Way to big foe a phone IMO.

I don't think I want a 5 incher. They are getting a little ridiculous. Leave the big screens to the note

I wont mind a 5" Screen as long as the Body does NOT get larger than the S3...
We all know its hard to stay on top of the latest Tech.
I do love that all my Iphone Friends are now Considering the s3 after the newest Iphone 5 "innovation"...
Definitely fake. Samsung does NOT release there big products at something like MWC.
