It's less of a next generation, and more of an update to the cutting edge of the tech world. A judge has denied Apple's request to stop Samsung phones from being sold in the U.S.. The iPhone and iPad manufacturer claims that Samsung copied key features of its products. Apple was awarded over $1 billion in August when a U.S. jury found in its favour.

Both companies control more than half of worldwide smartphone sales.
