Apple is perfect position.

OK first off I'm not an apple fanboy or any fanboy for that matter I love tech and gadgets. Second it is a sad day for many people like me because I am tied to sprint for life probably mainly because of price and unlimited data. (That's not the sad part). So with that said I am tied to their phones and right now with the current phones and android it is a sad cluster f$%#. ICS is great just on its own but Sammy and HTC don't care. Updates come like whenever, maybe 8 months later to a year maybe never.
All future phones on sprint are a letdown at this point sg3, evo one, galaxy nexus is great but no lte. Android is just a hot mess I don't even know the point of pure Google of only 1 percent actually have it.
Apple is in perfect position because if the iPhone 5 is bigger and beautiful and powerful its a wrap. Once lte is up I can't find any reason to stay with Android or anything other. Google paved the way for apple to crush them because they have no standards. I have used android pretty intensely and its just all over the place. A bigger retina better battery iPhone will be a killer. And who knows what IOS 6 will be.
I know many of you will flame but if you can't understand at least one point then you are blind. I'm not bashing Android I love ics and wish I had it running perfect on my phone.

I don't quite see how android is a mess? Just because Samsung has touchwiz and HTC has Sense? You do realize that both companies do provide updates to their phones right? Yes, I realize the move from Froyo -> Gingerbread -> ICS isn't fast...but that's copmarable to IOS 3 -> 4 -> 5 (which is also about once a year). The minor updates in betweens are generally fixes for things, and a lot have been purely to patch exploits by jailbreakers which further locks the phone down. Officially our phones have recieved 2 updates, and we're waiting on the official 3rd to move to ICS.
The new iPhone will be a hit...because it is an iPhone, simple as that. The bigger size will attract some more people, but seeing how the 4S was a lackluster upgrade and it was Apple's top selling phone, crushing any android phone's sale. This next one will do the same. Personally, and I'm guessing for many on XDA who enjoy modding the crap out of their phones, iPhones aren't really an option...especially the way it is now making jailbreak exploits even harder to come by.

I think you're passing judgement on them before giving them a try. Their specs have been released, but you haven't held onto them yet. I don't think the next iPhone will be a mind blower either, it'll probably be similar to the specifications of the EVO LTE or SGSIII.
The SGS2 is definitely my kind of phone, the only thing I'll need is LTE when it comes to my area. We'll see how it goes.

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.

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.

Not a big deal for Samsung. Apple did this in Germany a while ago. Samsung just released a slightly modified version of the Galaxy Tab, in terms of design. It's called Galaxy Tab 10.1N.

I'm sure Samsung can release patches to remove offending pieces of code. But it is interesting that while the court of appeals suspended the GNex injunction, they kept the 10.1 injunction in place. Maybe something more serious. I'm not a lawyer, but it really doesn't matter as that particular tablet had dismal sales

Who cares?
The hype is on the Galaxy S3 now, and few are buying the Galaxy Nexus.
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.

There will come a time when Apple falls and falls hard... All its going to take is one injunction against them and poof.. goodbye mobile phones and most likely tablets.

What if Apple wins?

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.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

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.

Even if something as far-fetched as banning the S3 does occur, I doubt that they would simply just stop supporting a device that sold over 10 million units.

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.

Apple deserves to win this case. Look at the points and cases they are bringing up against the Galaxy S 1. The UI was completely ripped off of them. In addition, Samsung's lawyers are a bunch of jackasses in court (read the Verge if you dont know what Im talking about). Now... some of the new patents Apple is getting are utter bull****.

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

How could this Samsung v Apple lawsuit impact our new investments/future firmware upg

I was just wondering if anyone knows the exact details of how this lawsuit could de-rail the galaxy s3. Is it a possibility that they recall it? Will the jellybean update due in the fall be delayed due to copyright violations? I know its very unlikely that this lawsuit wil get anymore, but what is the worse that could come from this?
Oh yea, by apple doing this makes me about 300% less likely to buy one of their products. You know this company is on the ropes when they are pushing for a judgement for samsung to pull all of its devices off the market.

It won't do anything for the lifespan of the GS3. Regardless of who wins this week, appeals are surely to be the result that will keep this battle going for a year, at the least. Probably 18 to 24 months. Small inconveniences may occur along the way, kind of like how universal search got dumbed down, but in the end, I think lawmakers are going to have to step in and fix the problem on the books.
Samsung is starting to make chips in the US, so it makes me wonder if Samsung is trying to get some congressional support by claiming that if their phones get locked out of US markets, it'll hurt the US job market. Where Apple products are all manufactured by a foreign work force.

I what would be shocked is if nine people (jury) agree on anything covered in this trial.
Hung jury on most claims for both sides would be my guess but if the jury upholds the 3g claim for Samsung I think Apples gonna wish they wouldnt have started this BS.

I was just wondering if anyone knows the exact details of how this lawsuit could de-rail the galaxy s3. Is it a possibility that they recall it? Will the jellybean update due in the fall be delayed due to copyright violations? I know its very unlikely that this lawsuit wil get anymore, but what is the worse that could come from this?
Oh yea, by apple doing this makes me about 300% less likely to buy one of their products. You know this company is on the ropes when they are pushing for a judgement for samsung to pull all of its devices off the market.

Nothing will happen to the S3 because that actually wasn't part of this case, the case was for older devices and the galaxy tab, no need to worry for now

Why, because we already have the roms. They will roll out updates I am sure (if they have too) for the UI, but if your rooted and/or not on stock rom -you will have nothing to worry about. GET THE SIII now if you havnt, you might not beable to (highly doubt it).

If I remember correctly apple is suing over the sg3 in december...

The lawsuit ended in Samsung owing Apple 1Billion. But samsung is fighting back claiming not to steal any ideas. Can we ***** slap apple for being a child?

I what would be shocked is if nine people (jury) agree on anything covered in this trial.
Hung jury on most claims for both sides would be my guess but if the jury upholds the 3g claim for Samsung I think Apples gonna wish they wouldnt have started this BS.

Lets be honest, if you own any kind of android, be it samsung or not, you're likely going to be rooting for Samsung's case. And same goes for all those iPhone fan boys and girls out there. So the real problem is.... Will they honestly be able to find 9 people that don't currently own an iPhone or Android phone, and never have in their entire lives? Because that's how the jury should be comprised -- of people having absolutely no opinion about the matter. I'd venture to say that'd be enough to get for a mistrial if the jury weren't made this way.

Long story short nothing will happen. Samsung will just lose some money.. remember Samsung makes more products than apple.

1 billion dollars is a ton of money... even for Samsung. I dont see how they can survive this alone. I suspect many companies will soon team up to keep apple honest with themselves. The days of their reign are ending. Get innovative instead of suing.... its a little more respectable.
