Is Apple Cheating In Its Legal Dispute Against Samsung? That is the question that has been plaguing the soap opera for hours by the patents that faces the North American and South Korean companies. Through Engadget we have learned that the Dutch publication Webwereld echoed a document presented by those from Cupertino in the Dí¼sseldorf courts, where both companies have displaced one of the fronts in their particular legal war.
The fact is that said document would come to represent the similar suspects between the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the iPad 2 (one of the bases of argumentation that Apple maintains to accuse the Asian multinational of plagiarism).
However, when analyzing the dimensions of the Samsung tablet, the fact that its dimensions coincide with those of the Apple terminal is striking, when we know that it boasts a more landscape format. Given this, and comparing with another image, it is noted that, accidentally or deliberately, the model of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 used for the comparison has been manipulated.
As detailed from Webwereld, in the tests presented by Apple, the ratio of the screens of the iPad 2 and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is practically identical (with values of 1.30 and 1.36, respectively), when the real index of the The Korean tablet is 1.46, so the change in appearance is more than blatant.
But not only that. In addition, in the mockup you cannot see the Samsung logo at the base of the frame, in case we look at the device in its horizontal arrangement.
That is why the consideration that some convenient tweaks have been applied to the image of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is more than evident. However, it remains to be clarified whether Apple has been aware of the ruse or has been, on the contrary, an accidental action.
