Apple has lost an appeal to a U.K. High Court's judgement that Samsung did not infringe their iPad design and that the company must run ads stating as much, reports Reuters.

Britain's Court of Appeal agreed with the High Court ruling that despite similarities, Samsung's Galaxy tablet did not infringe Apple's iPad design, in part because they were "not as cool".

In addition to the decision which is said to be valid throughout Europe, Apple is being forced to run ads stating that Samsung did not copy its registered tablet designs on its website and in newspapers.

The iphone 5 only costs $800 if you buy it unsubsidized. Either way iPhones ALWAYS have a higher resale value. You're five friends either didn't buy iphone 5s, didn't return them or don't exist. About 1-5% of people use NFC. No one cares if a phone has it exempts Samsung owners grasping at straws.
