Apple reportedly used flawed images in its complaint against Samsung that resulted in a preliminary injunction against sales of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in most of the European Union, according to ComputerWorld.
In its complaint Apple submits photos of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 claiming that the overall appearance of the two products is "practically identical."
But the picture Apple submitted of the Tab is inaccurate and does not match the real Galaxy Tab 10.1, Webwereld discovered. Further investigations have verified this assessment. The Galaxy Tab due on the European market is taller and more oblong than the iPad 2. However, the shape of what Apple claims to be a Tab 10.1 resembles the iPad very closely.
The picture of the alleged Galaxy Tab provided by Apple is cropped and its aspect ratio is distorted. According to Samsung, the Tab measures 256.7 x 175.3 millimeters, which translates to an aspect ratio of 1.46. The Tab pictured in the complaint however has an aspect ratio of 1.36. The bottom is about 8% wider than the actual one.
We aren't sure what exact situation with these photos is; however, it seems unlikely that Apple would intentionally try to deceive the courts with an image that Samsung would immediately note as being inaccurate.
Neither company has commented on the matter as of yet.
