I think this really as Apple have always been the ones that come out with the best in the past but now they are almost a generation behind in technology as the I5 certainly won't be any better than what is about now.

They still have (in the public eye) the best software and design, that will count for far more than slightly upgraded hardware. Most hardware specs count for nothing with your average person. Myself, and you, and people on here care about them, but we're interested in that stuff.

For example, the iPhone 4 wasn't really running new technology when it came out, but it made no difference. It simply doesn't matter to most folk.

Anyway, I can almost guarantee that you'll get an iPhone 5. Guarantee it. I've never been wrong so far. :cool:

Only serves to reinforce any pre-existing bias against Apple.

Well, for me anyway.

Before the injunctions all kicked in back at the start of August, Im pretty sure that some websites had the 3G versions listed for sale from around the 18th September. They were definitely 5-6 weeks later than the WiFi only versions.

Why are European judges so stupid, is having a low IQ a pre-requisite for the job or something?

Google have given HTC some patents (from Motorola) and they are trying to stick the boot in Apple now as well.

I hope all of this doesn't take anything away from the great work the engineers at Apple and Samsung are doing. I suspect it won't.

With all this litigation from Apple... Have they actually won anything yet? So far all we have is a couple of preemptive injunctions that are almost certainly going to be overturned when they actually go to court proper and that single patent for the Android album system from Holland...

I take it they are spreading fast and wide, hoping something, somewhere sticks?

Apple are looking like big bullies. The injunctions they have done are so crazy and must be overturned as its unfair on the consumers.

Bad news, the German court upholds injunction against Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Apple wins nationwide ban:

Germany's fault for being bloody stupid. Their loss.

Time Samsung cut all ties with Apple.

Hope Google run them in to the ground once they get in on the act.

Not going to happen.

unwashed potato! · 9 Sep 2011 at 13:35

makes you wonder what on earth are samsung doing letting this happen? maybe there is more to it then we realise you'd think samsung would easily be able to defend this and win. i know they trying to overturn it still but just feels like wtf how can this happen. judges aren't usually plonkers and the evidence should be clear

Pigeon_Killer · 9 Sep 2011 at 13:38

Wasn't there talk of Apple trying to dump Samsung earlier in the year? I'd imagine they would have to pay huge penalties from breaking the contract early so perhaps they're doing this in the hope Samsung will drop them instead :confused:
