PHOTOS USED IN APPLE'S INJUNCTION AGAINST SAMSUNG TABLET IN GERMANY ALTERED


Apple has been suing Samsung in various courts across the globe. Apple's beef is that Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 is too similar to the iPad 2. Recently, Apple filed, and won, an injunction in Germany to keep Samsung from importing and selling the Galaxy in that country.

It has now come to light that the photos used for comparison of the two products, supplied to the court by Apple's lawyers (page 28 of filing), have been altered to make the Galaxy Tab more similar to the iPad than it really is. In the photo above you can see that the tablets look remarkably similar, in reality they are not.

Samsung's tablet measures 10.1" x 6.9" x 0.3" with an aspect ration of 16:10 while the iPad2 measures 9.5" x 7.31" x 0.34" with an aspect ratio of 4:3. You can see by the picture below the size difference between the two. Did Apple purposely alter the photos to make its case or is this a result of an overzealous lawyer in Germany?
