Court Lifts Ban on Samsung Galaxy Tab Sales in Europe Due to Falsified Evidence in Apple’s Case

Alex Heath ∙ Updated November 13, 2019

Apple recently won a preliminary injunction case in Europe banning the sales of Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1. Based on a case of infringed intellectual property, Apple was able to convince the court that Samsung's tablet copied the design of the iPad too closely, and Apple requested a block of all sales in the European Union until the case could be further investigated.

It looks like Apple doesn't mind playing a little dirty. A report has surfaced that Apple could have allegedly tampered with and falsified evidence against the Samsung Galaxy Tab, and the ban on the tablet's sales has been lifted in Europe while the court investigates.

More iPhone 5 Replacement Parts Surface

Cody Lee ∙ Updated March 12, 2018

We wouldn't know absolutely anything about a new iPhone based on Apple's behavior recently. Besides the mention of a "future product transition" during its last quarterly earnings call, Apple has been fairly tight-lipped about the upcoming smartphone.

One glance at iDB or any other Apple-based tech site, and it's the complete opposite. We've seen leaked cases, blurry spy shots, and leaked components, all pointing to an imminent iPhone 5 release...

WINGStand Offers a Unique Keyboard Stand for the iPad and iPhone

Oliver Haslam ∙ Updated January 24, 2016

We just love Kickstarter projects here at iDownloadBlog. Not long ago we told you about The Infinite Loop, an iDevice stand with a "difference." Today, RazorianFly drew our attention to another stand on good ol' Kickstarter, and we just love it. Judging by the fact the project has already smashed its target funding, it seems we're not the only one!

Put together by a Mechanical Engineering and Design student called Daniel Haarburger, The WINGStand is an ingenious little stand that offers a way to keep an iPhone, iPad or pretty much any tablet in an upright position, perfect for reading recipes and the like.

But that's not all. The WINGStand has a party trick, and it's a trick that makes it stand out from the crowd, and the reason this writer has already offered up his hard earned (well, earned) money...

Cody Lee ∙ August 16, 2011

We've discussed several jailbreak utilities for Safari over the last few years, but Sleipnizer could be its new best friend. The package adds two major features to the option-starved browser.

Sleipnizer borrows its peculiar title and feature-set from a Japanse browser named Sleipnir. It installs into the native Safari application in iOS, and makes surfing the web with the native browser a little bit more fun...

Alex Heath ∙ August 15, 2011

According to DigiTimes, Apple has allegedly cancelled its iPad 3 supply schedule for the latter half of 2011. Rumors have speculated that Apple would launch a third generation tablet at an upcoming media event this Fall, but sources overseas have confirmed that Apple has in fact postponed its launch for a later date.

Apple is still expected to unveil a new iPhone this Fall, with rumors suggesting that two new iPhone models could be introduced at once. The iPod line is expected to see a refresh as well, but those details remain a mystery.

Steve Jobs Biography Gets Name Change and November 21st Release Date

Oliver Haslam ∙ Updated November 13, 2019

The official biography of Steve Jobs is still a few months away, but the new publication date of November 21, 2011 is certainly a lot sooner than the original date of March 2012.

As a highly anticipated, pre-ordered best seller, the biography has also received its first cover. However, given the book's tendency to change details pre-launch, we wouldn't be surprised if a new photo adornes the front page before we get our sticky, little hands on it...

More Evidence of New Voice Command Feature Found in iOS 5

Cody Lee ∙ Updated December 25, 2017

When it comes to iOS 5, Apple has some serious tricks up its sleeve. Though killer features like voice-to-text and Assistant weren't mentioned in Apple's WWDC keynote on the new firmware, they're there.

From what we know so far, the voice-to-text implementation is pretty straightforward. It appears to be system-wide and powered by Nuance technology. The Assistant feature on the other hand, has been a bit of a mystery. Until now...

Carriers Caught Testing LTE-Flavored iPhones

Cody Lee ∙ August 15, 2011

All of the information surrounding the iPhone 5 up to this point has suggested that Apple's next smartphone will not be LTE-capable, even though the platform currently powers Verizon's 4G network, and will soon drive AT&T's.

There's been several reasons for tech pundits and analysts to write the feature off from Apple's upcoming device, but as Alex reminded us yesterday, we really don't know anything for sure. On that note, BGR just posted evidence that an iPhone with LTE is currently in testing...
