Last year, Samsung Galaxy S was by far the most significant competitor of the iPhone 3GS terminal, failing to surpass it in sales but managing to stand out in front of the other high-end Android smartphones. After the Samsung Galaxy S, various low-end versions of the terminal appeared, plus a Samsung Galaxy Tab tablet that was supposed to be an iPad killer. Unfortunately, none of these products lived up to the standards of iDevices, but for Apple they were like "a thorn in the side". In this "spirit" Apple is suing Samsung because of the Galaxy series, more precisely accusing the company of copying the design and elements of the iOS interface in the terminals; Galaxy S, Nexus S, Galaxy Tab, Galaxy S 4G and Epic 4G.
Rather than innovate and develop its own technology and a unique Samsung style for its smart phone products and computer tablets, Samsung chose to copy Apple's technology, user interface and innovative style in these infringing products, the lawsuit said.
The information comes from the publication The Wall Street Journal so it is as believable as possible, but it is more than unexpected. Apple buys from Samsung: SSDs for MacBook Air and certain components for iDevices and this process could lead to a break between the 2 companies. Looking at things objectively, everyone knows that the Samsung Galaxy S was inspired by the iPhone 3GS terminal, but I don't know what to say about the Galaxy Tab or Nexus S. Apple is clearly pushing the mark and I don't think it will win the case in any court in this world, but in the end it aims to maintain its leading position on the tablet market.
Really?
I had a Galaxy S for a few days and the interface is almost the same as the iPhone.
it was expected
And what does nexus have to do with it? . The Nexuses, regardless of who made them, were the reference hardware for the Android variants. On the nexus, there is a gingerbread as virgin as possible, without any Samsung handles. In this case, shouldn't Google be sued?
SGS was copied after 3GS and SGS2 after iphone 4.
To be honest... Galaxy S II was copied after Galasy S :)))
Apple will take the ssds cheaper, it's obvious.
@Zaone, how do you mean SGS was copied after iPhone 4 if Samsung Gakacy S was announced two months before iPhone 4??? You also see on the net first... You are misleading some people. Moreover, they have nothing in common, neither shape, nor materials, only that it is a capacitive screen...
3Gs was not 4.
Look, these are exactly the things I don't like about Apple
after they have this huge success, they do more phases like this! well, leave it to me if you are so good and make super quality products, even if one of the others tries to take after you and in the end we'll see which one!

Brilliantly said Zaone as SGS 2 copied after SGS :))) it's a brick finger, and big and ugly
God created man and man created Apple...
It was to be expected – another source of Asian knockoffs, HTC, had already been sued last year.
As for success in court, Apple has previously patented the shape and functions of the iPhone, and as long as the patent is valid, it has a definite chance of success.
This shows that even in the case of Asian imitators, the pitcher does not often go to water! Now it's broken...
And the collaboration on Samsung's supply of parts to Apple I don't think will be affected by the lawsuit because Apple is by far Samsung's biggest customer and the Koreans can't afford to lose such a customer. Then their collaboration is based on contracts (even if they are not "strategic partnerships", Apple does not have such partnerships), which cannot simply be ignored because of a lawsuit on matters other than the contractual object. So it is very likely that these contracts will go ahead, both sides benefit from it.
Well done to them...but embarrassing...they are also hurting only for money:-j.
it has no chance of winning in court, as long as some shapes and buttons are different, no one will give them a win for the cause, anyway pathetic from a big company like apple

It's better to unite so that the money doesn't go around anymore 🙂
