Samsung is demanding that Apple turn over the iPhone 4S' source code and Apple's agreements with all major Aussie telcos, according to SmartOffice. Samsung is claiming that Cupertino violated three of its wireless 3G patents.

In Federal court today Samsung counsel Cynthia Cochrane said her client would need the source code for the iPhone 4S and agreements Apple had with major carriers Vodafone, Telstra and Optus in order to make a legal case for a ban before the court.

Samsung are also looking to ascertain the subsidies the telcos pay to their rival Apple for selling the iPhones on plans, according to ZD Net.

Apple reportedly says that Samsung agreed to license the three patents in question under Fair, Reasonable, and Non-Discriminatory terms (FRAND) standard.

Previous demands that Apple be forced to hand over the iPhone 5 and iPad 3, were denied.
