Samsung and Apple To Go To Supreme Court - http://clapway.com/2015/08/15/samsung-and-apple-to-go-to-supreme-court321/

A panel of three judges just decided to uphold the previous patent ruling in favor of Apple, and Samsung’s last hope in the battle might be to take it all the way to the United States Supreme Court. The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit of Washington earlier denied Samsung’s petition to rehear the case.

Samsung Has Decided To Contest the Fine

Samsung has chosen to contest the large fine that was given for allegedly infringing on copyrights of at least two dozen Apple patents. Currently, they have two choices, to either pay the fine, or to take the case all the way to the highest court of the land. The Federal Court also rejected Samsung’s appellate plea for the patent violations, noting that “For decades, they have invested heavily in developing revolutionary innovations in the mobile industry and beyond.” Samsung lost its appeal case against the original court ruling that ordered the technology company to pay $548 million for patent infringement of Apple’s designs. The said in a statement that they are disappointed that their request for an en banc hearing of the United States Court of Appeals was denied. They also said that they are confident that their products do not infringe on Apple’s design patents and they will continue to take the appropriate measures to protect their intellectual property and products.

The Current Patent Design Infringement Covers Only Minor Details

The patent design infringement in question at this time only covered a few minor details of the smartphone design, but doesn’t necessarily incorporate thousands of patents as originally alleged by Apple. Samsung, along with other companies related, believe that voting in favor of Apple could give them “unprecedented power” and promote unhealthy competition in the tech and mobile industry. The company state that if this decision is upheld, that it it would have a devastating impact on companies who spend billions of dollars annually to research and develop their respective complex technology and their individual components.

Apple Has Made No Comment, But This Isn’t the First Time They’ve Been to Court

Apple has not made any comments on the decision. This is definitely not the first time that the two technology giants have disputed in court over intellectual property, and this most recent trial has been costly and difficult for both parties.

Meet Pebble"s Flagship Smartwatch: The Pebble Time Steel - http://clapway.com/2015/08/09/meet-pebbles-flagship-smartwatch-the-pebble-time-steel567/

Pebble just announced their newest smartwatch, the Pebble Time, but that wasn’t the only thing the company had to show off. The Pebble Time Steel is, as the name implies, a higher-end version of the same watch but with some extra must-have features.

An Upgrade from the Upgrade

The original Pebble Watch took the market by surprise since it was really one of the first smartwatches to hit the market, and it was developed by a startup company. The Pebble Time takes some of the things that the Pebble Watch did well and improves them across the board. The Pebble Time Steel takes things up another notch. First off, the entire smartwatch is made of steel, which looks leagues ahead of the original Pebble Watch. Interestingly, the Pebble Time Steel is also water resistant up to 50 meters — inline with the original Pebble Watch, but better than the Pebble Time. It also sports a 182 ppi screen and has a higher rated battery. The most notable change to the two devices involves its e-ink display. Aside from the higher pixel density, the display is also all in color now, as opposed to the black display of the previous model.

New Software

The new Pebble software is called Pebble Timeline, and it gives users more functionality when it comes to you calendar, weather, and many other things. These are all features present in the old watch, but Timeline changes the way users interact with this information. Now, the buttons on the side of the devices allow users to navigate pinned events. The up button corresponds to past events, the middle button is for present events, and the down button is for events that are coming up in the future. The good news? Pebble Timeline is coming to the Pebble Watch as well, so all Pebble users will be able to take advantage of the new software.

Availability

For anyone who just wants to upgrade their old Pebble Watch, you can grab the Time straight off the website today. It’s $199.99 and comes with either black, white, or red bands. The Pebble Time Steel only opened for pre-order, but has more options. For $249.99 users can have their choice between a black, tan, and red genuine leather band, or can get a black, silver, or gold stainless steel band for $299.99. Shipping for the Pebble Time Steel is currently set for 6 to 8 weeks.

Newest Leak of Apple iPhone 6s Reveals Force Touch Technology - http://clapway.com/2015/08/02/newest-leak-of-apple-iphone-6s-reveals-force-touch-technology686/

In the latest set of leaks involving the Apple iPhone 6s, new images have appeared that seem to point towards the company using Force Touch its upcoming pair of handsets.

May the Force Be With You

Unfortunately, Apple’s newest Force Touch has less to do with the Star Wars universe and more to do with what the name implies in a literal sense. It’s a press-sensitive technology that Apple has created to help a device understand the difference between different variations of touch. The most obvious use of this new technology would allow new gesture features to be implemented based on soft and hard presses — similar to short and long presses. This isn’t exactly a new feature, however. Apple first unveiled the feature earlier this year when it unveiled the Apple Watch and the newest MacBooks.

Source of the Apple iPhone 6s Leak

The Apple iPhone 6s leak itself comes from a Chinese repair firm called Geekbar on Weibo, but it was spotted by Steven Hemmerstoffer of Nowhereelse.fr first. The sources seem to be pretty legitimate, and the accompanying photographs show of a lot of details that support the claims.

The shape of the LCD display is largely the same, but components of the display differ in some key ways, though there are still some unknown details.

According to an Apple Insider, there is a rectangular cutout in the upper center of the screen which houses a smaller component of the same shape. They believe this could be a grounding insert. On the backside of the display, the edges have rivets rather than screws that are keeping it in place. And there are some mysterious black dots that run along the edges of the display that aren’t found on the previous device.

Apple Ramps Up Production of Their New Force Touch Displays

Whether these rumors are to be believed is almost besides the point now. According to suppliers, Apple has already started to ramp up production of these new displays and it just makes sense that Apple would be bringing this technology to one of their best selling devices. What new features Apple will be introducing with the Apple iPhone 6s remains to be seen, but stay tuned for more details soon.
