It could would to samsung, because more people are finding out how samsung makes apple's processors, etc. In fact, that essentially in the guts, hardware wise, similar products, though the apple is like 3x more, and samsung has a better quality and price.
This ban could be temporary; the nexus was banned, but if you check the play store, its back to being sold; it has for some time now.
So in the end, will really just have to watch as it plays out. This could be 'htc move' for apple; where people were unhappy with them because of them going back on their bootloader word. This could drive more people to samsung.
Really why make another one of these threads when a few already exist..... And last I read nothing is banned as of yet.that hearing is set for sometime in Dec. And on top of that the GS3 is not one of the phones Apple is going after. Most of the galaxy s2 variants and a couple galaxy s1 are the ones being questioned.

+2, That lawsuit had absolutely nothing to do with the gs3 and will not affect us in any way. All it will do in my opinion is encourage Samsung and others to innovate more and be more creative which is good.
And why the heck would buying an iphone be a solution to anything? Your friend is dumb.

SAMSUNG Court Case
Well, all I have to say is...if the developers keep turning out stuff like this latest nightly, 08/31 CM10, Apple is going to sue them.
I was floored by the performance boost in the GUI and how I finally have a phone with no personal complaints I can cite.
CPU runs all the code I write fast enough for what I need, and the wireless N support doesn't suck.
On top of that, the radio on the unit works very well for voice calls, far better than my EVO does.
(My poor EVO has been relegated to displaying Weather, playing MP3's and movies as a gift to my sister.)
As for the lawsuit, I would like to remind everyone no money has changed hands yet. There is an appeal process. There _will_ be an appeal process because lawyers don't like to turn down that much cash, I can assure you.
Secondly, the last time LINUX was threatened, was SCO. A grass roots effort over a 5 year period, reduced the company to a rubble pile. Geeks like myself, have HUGE bearing on our friends and our families on what they should buy. Even the small number of geeks at the time working in the open source industry.
Now, it is an entirely different story. Open source runs the modern world now.
If Apple gets out of line, and starts shutting down product lines of companies for what could be argued as the most ridiculous legal proceedings ever, since the SCO case, we will mobilize.
We will mobilize our friends, our families, our places of work and like SCO, Apple will feel our wrath and it will wither and die as a company.
Many like myself feel this way because we understand how technology and science works, and it works by building on previous inventions.
_ALL_ companies build on previous products and technology. Apple is no exception.
If SAMSUNG copied the parts and software I could see legal validation for retribution. But the products displayed in the courtroom in this particular instance have little technological, software or GUI likeness if at all to any Apple product.
Secondly, the jury was stacked by Silicone Valley idiots, which has already been shown to have complete bias towards Apple, regardless of their beliefs of right or wrong in the said legal case against SAMSUNG.

Why is there a special banner/button for the IPHONE above... If purely a sister site, can we have a sister site for ANDROID and a sister site for M$FT?
With the new ads, and this... is XDA doing okay? Want to donate to XDA, check here.
Are there plans for this to be removed once it's up and running on its own?
I know it should not bother me, but coming to this site everyday to post about Android, its ANNOYING to see IPHONE
I don't support Apple and think iPhones are retarded but I haven't quite sunk to getting pissed at seeing the name on my screen. Not quite like they are Nazi Germany or something.

^ you posted immediately after this, you realize there is sarcasm right?
Mmm, no offense but..... get over yourself?
The button is there so that iPhone people know exactly where to go to post about their phone (iPhone users aren't always the most technically inclined people in the world).
There's a lot to dislike about the company's practices, but you cannot deny that they put out a pretty good product and that they have spurred a *lot* of competition and innovation in mobile computing over the last decade.
I will never own an apple device, but there's no reason to go out of your way to hate a company that isn't doing you any harm.
I agree with You S15274N I had 3 I-Phones I could not stand the fact I pay for the phone and they control my technology like I am a baby. That, along with the Totalitarian marketing behavior "oh you want to add some new anything ? ...... 1.99 each plz"............Besides, the Apple followers are like Religious Zealots "Apple is my God....take my money"..... In my area we all call it "chic" phone you want something you can do nothing to but has a couple cute features.........oooohhhh then this phone is for you.
But, even it's a sister site it really rubs me the wrong way..........I just never expressed myself.... until now ........... THANKS !!!
Yeah... I'm not saying I blame XDA or anything... just stating that I really hate the ONE site I spend my time on to express my passion for android, now has big IPHONE button at the top of it....
And I am kinda laughing at myself about how much that bothers me, I know it shouldn't.
Not sure some of you realize what I'm TRYING to say.

As for hating the button...really? It's a phone. Not that big of a deal, dude. Just ignore it.
Wasting energy on something so trivial!
I agree with s15274n..
iPhones are the most expensive,useless, fragile phones ever.... they suck so bad....the Galaxy S phones are so much stronger and cheaper....hell the Evo has twice the power for about half the price ...
Meanwhile the iPhone is $800 and breaks as soon as it bumps against something .... jailbreaking is like a dice roll every time an update is released ... its a big waste of money like the iPad in my opinion

Apple always finds a way to top its own claims. I'm sure we will see another one soon
Genius...
Certainly, Apple has the best marketing strategy in the world. Step 1) Patent something that has already been used and claim it for yourself (even though you are 2 years behind the curve). Step 2) Your millions of minion-minded customers will think they are the first to have such product, and will claim it to be the BEST EVERRRRRR! Of course, they will be correct because Apple said so!
Yawn..........

Hmm I think apple is going against manufactures and not google to try and discourage them from making Android phones so win or lose it's costing Samsung thousands of dollars but then again if I were apple I'd be scared to attack Samsung with 25% of the iPhone 4 made from Samsung aren't they worried they'll just cut them off?

Companies as large as Samsung (and they are a GIGANTIC company. They are huge in nearly every industry they are in, which is most.) have different divisions. Whatever the smartphone division is called likely has little to do with the component manufacturing division. Even if the smartphone division demanded the component manufacturing division to cut off Apple completely they would get nothing more than a simple "No" and likely some laughing...and even if that division did want to cut Apple off they are contractually bound. Not to mention it would just be bad business to cut off sales to one of the planets most prolific electronic component customers.
A few years back one division of Sony sued another division of Sony...I think it was a (surprise surprise) Copyright issue.
Yeah, I think that most people don't realize just how gigantic and diverse of a company that Samsung really is...
"Samsung Electronics said Friday that it topped 160 trillion won (138 billion U.S. dollars) in annual sales for the first time in 2011. For the second straight year, the company topped 15 trillion won (12.9 billion dollars) in operating profit on the back of more than 150 trillion won (129 billion dollars) in sales."
All of these lawsuits are ridiculous.. But I don't think the one listed in the OP is the most laughable..
Samsung recently lost a case where they claimed the absolute right to 3G against Apple...
The only people who come out ahead on all these frivolous lawsuits are the lawyers who are getting paid..
http://phandroid.com/2012/01/20/samsung-loses-3g-technology-patent-claim-against-apple-in-germany/
Some of the claims made by Apple are bad yes but what's even worse is when some of the courts agree with them.

What I find funny is the trial date, March 2014, so what's the point in a trial to ban a part that most likely won't be on the market as a new device offering which would mean sales if any would be nearly non existence. Seriously they'd have to sue for the next two models just to make 2014 a relevant model or even year.

Depends if you get a preliminary injunction or not, which, as you can see from the trial date, would be pretty damaging.
Also, half of these lawsuits are just publicity stunts. By calling the Galaxy Nexus a "copycat product", millions of idiots who haven't even looked one up just read about it and automatically assume that it is.
Because Samsung CUT on potential Apple profit and PASTED it to their bank account..
yeah, copycat..

The LTE version has been a nightmare of this device. Luckily the 3rd one I received works. I consider myself lucky!
The 4G radio's in the phone do not work correctly in a large number of devices. I can only imagine how many users of this phone who do not visit sites like this are dealing with a GNEX that the 4G radio's craps out on and needs reboting to bring it back or the ones who can't even hold a 4G signal.
Let's not even touch the screen quality....
What I want from thIs thread Is to find all evidence of everythIng we know about ALL tech that kIlls all apple/macIntosh IngenuIty... Thanks... Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Half of the stuff Apple has patented was invented by someone else (rectangle shape). It's pure abuse to the patent system.
apple won because intelligence is overrated.
Apple won because it was then their back yard. Case should of been moved to another state at the very least.
Plus a better chance it'll be overturned on appeal. Multiple parts of the case can be brought up to try and overturned it.
I think the fact the jury came to this decision in 3 days despite the amount on evidence they had the duty to go through is suspicious enough.
Seems the jury wanted to just say this so they can leave type of deal.

The foreman even said that they glossed over prior art (Important evidence) because it was taking too long. Wtf is that!?
"We're coming from a pure power source"
Honestly, Samsung is guilty as charged. They need to stop spending money and time in trying to build ****ty proprietary apps that resemble iOS apps and sell their devices as Nexus devices. Clean Android. Nobody chooses a Samsung phone over an HTC phone because of the ROM and apps. It ALWAYS comes down to hardware.
Apple isn't completely innocent from copying others work. They just took advantage of the current patent laws. Thomas Edison pulled the same crap.
"We're coming from a pure power source"
Pretty much everything apple has ever made software wise is just a "simpler more user friendly" rippoff. That's what apples whole sales pitch is! These lawsuits are just a perfect waste of the court system IMO. Also these idiot judges that side with them are breaking the law by attempting to create a monopoly.

I like Touchwiz apps. I don't like the launcher but that's just personal opinion. I don't particularly like the Nexus either. For me it IS a combination of the software and the hardware.
The fact that they stated that the SGS series and the iPhone were similar and that the Galaxy Tab and the iPad aren't shows that the jury lacked the competence to make an informed decision. The tablets are far more similar than any of the phones. Also the fact that they disregarded concept sketches to "save time" shows that this who lawsuit was mishandled. This shouldn't have come down to a jury.
half of it is bs and will get tossed but Samsung needs to ditch tw

Honestly there should be a non development Samsung, HTC, Motorola, etc. General section. And what I'm trying to really figure out I'd if we can dig up some old dirt on all the technology that apple calls "theirs" for instance the first touchscreen, who and when, operating systems, layouts, etc. And sorry mods if this is in the wrong section but I wanted it to be tied specifically to Sammy as they just lost a billion dollars. Maybe even people could comment on what they think this is going to do to Sammy users. And it sorta is about development because that's what the whole lawsuit is about. So move it if you have to or don't but chime in. Thanks to all who have given opinions

How is it abuse? Samsung BLATANTLY copied the iPhone, and didn't even try to hide it

they certainly did copy in some instance, but other areas i don't think should matter.
Obvious copying = BAD

But did they though? I mean apple has all these patents that I, myself know at least a few are bogus, makes me wonder what kInd of shenanigans did they pull in court? Hell if anyone knows this stuff and probably better than anyone it would be people here on xda...

So from what I can tell they got a billion over icon style and shape??? How??? Jurors sifted through all kinds of crap that probably should taken a month or so, in three days??? Apparently Sammy was blatantly was copying i**** but seriously we on xda all know that android and ios are not even close os's so why throw the tw overlay that looks like crapple and then be so open about it??? Is it a joke or meant to look that way to "steal" ideas/"friendly feel"...??? Hell idk but it's funny when the case is in isteal's backyard vs overseas... Makes me wonder how many jurors have a suephone...

touchwiz one was a blatent ripoff (a poor one though) of iOS. Look at the picture i posted above. TW2 and TW3 are completely different though.
its posible that people sue apple for interfering with the public like were are allow to choose wat we want not force
