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?

Customers who live in India wonder about official iPad Pro India release date and hope to see this biggest Apple tablet device this December.

There is a report that mentions the possible iPad Pro launch date in India. It states that Apple would bring its latest iDevice to this country in the second week of December. Would you like to see approximate iPad Pro price in India? We have heard some estimates and are now eager to share the predictions with you.

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

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.

Samsung Apple Patent War Forces Samsung to Pay $584 Million

appleThe Apple vs Samsung patent case study should be finally over. The two rival companies have been fighting in court for the last couple of years while they are both present in the modern gadget markets and are pretty popular among customers from all over the world.

How does Samsung Apple patent war end? It seems that Samsung is eager to agree that it caused damage to Apple by infringing its patent. The company based in South Korea decided to pay $584 million in damages to the Cupertino-based iPhone maker. The rumors about such an agreement are already confirmed by Samsung.

Apple should be handed over $548,176,477 by Samsung. It is believed that Samsung is currently waiting for Apple to send the original invoice. If this happens this week the Korean company is planning to pay damages by December 14th. This could be a great Christmas gift to all Apple fans who think that the iPhone is the best smartphone in the world.

The Samsung Apple patent lawsuit has been in courts for nearly 5 years. Apple sued Samsung and accused of copying its iPhone design back in 2012 [you can compare Apple iPhone 6s with Samsung Galaxy S6]. Since there were tons of rumors, news, reports and case hearings even though the jury found Samsung guilty in August 2012. Now, in 2015, the Galaxy creator awards Apple with $548 millions which is around 50 percent of the original $1.05 billion announced by the jury. Samsung managed to reduce this figure in retrials.

Is there a catch? Well, Samsung seems to reserve the right to get reimbursement from Apple. This could happen in different situations, for example, if the judgment is modifies, set aside or ‘otherwise.’

So if the judgment changes sometime in the future, Samsung would like to get all the money back from Apple.

U.S. iPhone T-Mobile Network Named Best Wireless Carrier 2015

What is the best wireless carrier 2015? Different companies will rank American networks differently because the popular top US mobile networks can be ranked based on coverage, customer service, data plans etc. For example, this year iPhone T-Mobile carrier is named best US carrier by Consumer Reports.

The U.S. survey has been conducted by Consumer Reports for the last several years in a row. This survey helps to rank the big four American networks and this year the results are pretty curious. Verizon that used to be number one phone carrier US has left its spot in favor to T Mobile. This network is named #1 carrier in 2015.

The number one wireless carrier US rank shows how popular T-Mobile has become among iPhone users and other smartphone owners. The Magenta Carrier is doing everything to get more subscribers. It comes up with crazy deals that sound very attractive to consumers and its seems that customers are very satisfied with the network.

The best US carrier 2015 T-Mobile [once again, this rank is given by Consumer Reports] used to be the last one among the four other major networks in the United States. This year Verizon is ranked at 70 while T-Mobile reaches 73 points. AT&T gets the ranking of 68 and Sprint gets 67 points. You can see the the difference is not that big still this does matter for the overall ranking.

While most users who participated in the survey are satisfied with T-Mobile service, Verizon and AT&T can boast better coverage and performace. Each carrier has its advantages and disadvantages and if you are not satisfied with your choice you can SIM unlock iPhone from T-Mobile or any other carrier and switch to a different network without any issues.

What carrier are you using? How are you satisfied with your data plan and your network?

iPhone T Mobile Switch Plan Offers Free Hulu Subscription to Verizon Users

This holiday season T-Mobile offers different deals to its rival network subscribers trying to attract AT&T, Sprint and Verizon users to switch from Verizon to TMobile, get away from AT&T network or choose T-Mobile over Sprint.

Would you like to switch to T-Mobile this December? If you are currently using Verizon network you can use iPhone T Mobile switch plan and get the bonus. The network promises one year of Hulu subscription to each Verizon user who joins its network.

It is curious that the ‘Un-carrier’ genius has already given away free LTE data to its subscribers, offered $200 discount to AT&T users and $200 credit to Sprint customers who purchased T-Mobile iPhone device or switch to this network. The Verizon deal announced recently is aimed at users who were going to switch to the other network anyways because Hulu subscription doesn’t sound as impressive as all previous offers.

If you decide to choose the Simple Choice option until December 17th you’ll get the free one-year subscription to Hulu from T-Mobile. This Christmas gift would most likely attract a small amount of users still getting the limited commercials subscription to Hulu service [if you are using it anyway] that costs $100 is also nice as this way you can stream videos from Hulu without ads and enjoy the unlimited T-Mobile streaming without ‘eating up’ your data limit per month.

Verizon users can also enjoy 50 off some T-Mobile in-store accessories if they decide to switch this week to this network.

iPhone 7 Features and Specs Tested by Apple in iPhone 7 Prototypes

The release of iPhone 7 is planned for 2016 or 2017. Apple is currently working with iPhone 7 prototype options and reportedly testing different possible smartphone models. We don’t know the exact iPhone 7 features and specifications because the Cupertino-based giant is believed to test several possible options, including wireless charging feature, dual camera and USB Type-C port.

Reports about the next generation handsets arrive from China. Local experts think Apple is currently testing 5 different iPhone 7 prototypes while designers are offering their iPhone 7 concepts and users are hoping to see new features in the next iOS 10 or iOS 11 smartphone. Chinese analysts state that all prototypes differ from each other and can boast some unique characteristics and specifications.

If the famous company brings the new USB connector and makes it compatible with headsets, users would enjoy such changes. Can Apple also embed its fingerprint scanner into the smartphone screen? Can it introduce wireless charging option? There are some rumors about future AMOLED display that could be offered to next iPhone customers but sources can’t name the exact launch date of such screens.

There are also reports that say Apple has no plans to bring AMOLED panels soon. This means we’ll have to wait for a few years until the company makes this happen.

Apple likes to keep secrets about its next gen gadgets. It could easily end up with a completely different smartphone upgrade and surprise its fans by offering something either very unique or very familiar. One thing is known for sure. Apple is one of the best companies in creating future technologies mainstream and convincing mullions of users from all over the world that the new iPhone is must-have.

Does Verizon iPhone Have WiFi Calling?

Does Verizon iPhone have WiFi Calling option? You know that Apple brought such a possibility to all iOS 9 platforms but not all U.S. carriers rolled out the support for this feature. For example, as Verizon reports it starts offering the service to Samsung Galaxy S6 edge and Galaxy S6 gadgets in December. iPhone users have to wait until 2016.

Verizon iPhone WiFi Calling iOS 9 service is coming next year. The American carrier assures that it is working on this now and will soon bring the service to all ‘fruit’ fans. Such an announcement was made officially but the U.S. network so it is reliable and trusted. The option should be enabled with another iOS 9 firmware upgrade. Apple will activate the option for all iPhones in early 2016.

While Verizon Wifi Calling iPhone support is still to arrive, some users can already enjoy it. For example, if you are using Sprint, T-Mobiel or AT&T you can already make WiFi calls and stay in touch with your family and friends when there is poor or no cellular signal. You can order factory SIM unlock for Verizon iPhone 6s now if you wish to start using WiFi calling on iOS 9 with a different network and don’t want to wait till the next year.

Factory unlock is permanent. You’ll be able to use different SIMs and switch between networks at any moment. You’ll enjoy WiFi calling on iOS 9 and get a choice of data plans and services. If you wish to stay with Verizon – you’ll be still able to use the carrier’s SIM with your iPhone after unlock.

The carrier got the FCC approval to roll out WiFi calling in November however it is planning to release the service only sometime in 2016.
