While Apple is preparing to release the iPhone 5 competitor "apple" of the company, Samsung, is planning to strike back. This time it will not be to release advanced mobile devices that can compete with Apple's smartphone. Samsung management is going to ban the sale of the new model iGadzhetov in Korea immediately after its release.
Help the Koreans in the implementation of their plan to be severe so-called patent war. It goes between Samsung and Apple for most of the year, more precisely, since the spring. Both manufacturers have accused each other of violating the patents they have developed technology and design solutions, and illegal use of the know-how. So, Apple even has ensured that Germany banned the sale of the tablet from Samsung, Galaxy Tab, allegedly due to the extreme similarity of the Korean company with the iPad product. In addition, as Apple, Samsung and demanded from each other demonstration is not yet released in the sale of new products, to confirm that no patent rights are not violated when they are created. (These requirements were not satisfied, even in court in any of the cases.)
In retaliation for attacks on Apple Korean company plans to charge its US competitor in violation of its series patents relating to technologies for wireless data transmission (which supposedly should prevent the iPhone 5 sales Korea). Koreans believe that "borrowed" technology will be a function of contactless payments, which iPhone 5 will turn into something like a virtual wallet for the implementation of payment in specialized outlets sales. In turn, Apple has denied reports about the introduction of NFC-technology in the fifth model iGadzhetov. The Cupertino clarify that such a feature ever appears in the iPhone, but most likely, in the sixth generation smartphone, not earlier. The reason - the lack of a single NFC standard.
