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.
