Apple Samsung Patent War Continues After Samsung Agreed to Pay Millions

It seems that the Apple vs Samsung patent case study has finally come to an end. The Korean company was forced and seemed to agree to pay millions of dollars to the iPhone maker. Still the whole situation is not that simple as Samsung asks the U.S. Supreme Court to take on this case. What does it mean? The fight or battle [whatever you call the process between the two big rival companies] didn’t stop.

Users who read Apple Samsung patent war summary know that the most recent court decision made Samsung pay the iOS giant but Samsung doesn’t want to pay out any damages. Thus the company takes its right and appeals to the Supreme Court in the USA and the fight continues.

As Samsung believes the issue with patent cases is huge. The company wants to provide more information to jury to help them understand the patents. Apple vs Samsung war can last for many years and either force one of the companies pay for damages or not.

Customers would be more surprised if Samsung actually paid the $548 million to Apple as it was willing to do earlier this month [the money should have reached Apple on December 14th]. But the company tries to get its money back and appeals to the Supreme Court. If the court grants this appeal and the final decision favors the Korean company – the U.S. iPhone creator would have to repay everything back.

Do you think this story would one day be over?

What iPad Pro Price in India and When Official Release Date Is

iPad Pro is the newest 2015 tablet model presented by Apple in time for Christmas season. This is a new gadget that is not available in all countries across the globe. Customers who live in India wonder about official iPad Pro India release date and hope to see this biggest Apple tablet device this December.

The prices are very similar to the 13” MacBook Pro model and MacBook Air devices.

Are you looking forward for the iPad Pro or are you happy with your Indian iPhone 6s or 6s Plus?

4 inch iPhone 2015 Will Be Launched in 2016

There is news about iPhone 6c release date. You have probably heard about possible to plans of 4 inch iPhone 2015 release along with iPhone 6s. This hasn’t happened and Apple only unveiled the two versions iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus this fall.

The smaller iPhone 6 screen size should be offered next year. The Cupertino-based company is believed to release 4 inch smartphone with the A9 processor. The rumors come from Ming-Chi kuo from KGI Securities. This analyst always follows the popular iOS products and shares his predictions about the upcoming gadgets.

The iPhone 6c should remind of iPhone 5c and 5S. This 2016 smartphone is believed to get the multiple color options just like the iPhone 5c. At the same time the future handset will get the metal build similar to iPhone 5s and its design along with camera specs would also remind of this iPhone version. Besides, the gadget would get A9 chip.

Apple has traditionally presented new smartphones in the fall. However 2016 could be an exception to the rule with iPhone 6c rumored to appear in late winter or early spring while the iPhone 7 rumors promise the launch of this model in the fall. A lot of customers still wish to own the smaller 4-inch handsets so Apple has enough reasons to release such a lineup of its iPhones.

The iPhone 6c price could be around $400 – $500 per gadget. Apple could offer it in countries with emerging markets where customers are looking for budget devices.

Do you also believe Apple is planning to upgrade the iPhone in spring 2016?

iPhone 7c Prototype News and Rumors About 4 Inch Smartphone

While the name of the most recent Apple smartphone generation is iPhone 6s / 6s Plus – we already hear new rumors about possible 4-inch handset launch sometimes in 2016. Some experts mention iPhone 6c gadgets that should be colorful and more affordable compared to the iPhone 6s. Others believe Apple has iPhone 7c prototype that could be presented the next year.

Would we really see another iPhone model release in February 2016? Most rumors say this could unlikely happen so soon. Other hope that Apple would surprise its customers and present a smaller and cheaper version of its popular iDevice.

There is no official iPhone 7c release date confirmed by Apple. The company indeed says nothing about the 4-inch model launch and mentions no iPhone 6c or iPhone 7c names. Rumors are so various it’s hard to understand what is exactly coming out soon. Will there be a colorful device similar to iPhone 5c in 2016 or not? Would the 4-inch handset get a metal chassis or not? Will there be an iPhone update earlier than fall 2016?

The most recent reports from China now claim that Apple would unveil the iPhone 7c [colorful 4-inch smartphone with A9 processor] in September 2016. If these rumors are true there will be no iPhone 6c at all. The 7c handset could help Apple to increase demand for iPhone 7 that should also be launched next fall.

Still it’s hard to believe that Apple would release the 4-inch handset right before major iPhone 7 upgrade. The company could more likely present a smaller gadget in sprint 2016 to bring a cheaper handset to Chinese and Indian markets where customers prefer paying less for brand.

When iPhone Retina Display OLED to Be Presented by Apple?

Some users who don’t own Apple smartphone yet wonder ‘Does iPhone have OLED screen?’ The answer is ‘no’ as all current iOS handsets arrive with LCD panels. While many customers and experts hope that such a screen would arrive as soon as possible this cannot happen in 2016.

According to rumors and predictions, OLED display iPhone option could arrive not even in 2017. There is another possible release date mention and it is in 2018. The famous Cupertino-based giant is already preparing for possible OLED displays and working together with Japanese company Japan Display.

Current LCD panel wouldn’t rule forever. One day Apple will offer an alternative and since Apple works with several manufactures it can easily one day switch to OLED screens created by Samsung or Japan Display. The new panels could become available along with iPhone 8 or iPhone 9.

This is another puzzle offered by Apple. You know that this company is always secret about its future gadgets. This year we’ve heard about possible iPhone 6c launch in spring 2016. We have already read that Apple could unveil both iPhone 6c and iPhone 7 or colorful small iPhone 7c right before the bigger iPhone 7 presentation in the fall 2016. That’s why it’s hard to name the model that could finally get OLED display.

Current rumors suggest the Japan Display is testing its new production line that could make OLED panels for next generation iPhones. Mass production could be expected in 2018 or possibly earlier since the 2015 models of Apple Watch are using OLED screens.
