It’s almost a year since Apple’s iPhone 4 is out in the market. Remember the ‘Apple vs Samsung’ case that just went on stage lately? Now why did Apple use their iPhone 3G patent to sue Samsung instead of iPhone 4? Well that’s partly because they don’t own the patent, yet. But now they do.

The company has been granted the patent a year after the company filed the application, which details the “ornamental design for an electronic device with graphical user interface” in words and pictures. What’s more, Apple’s now also finally snagged a design patent for the 2007 iPod touch, and it’s picked up a few other patents related to iTunes, Apple TV, and one for a “touch screen RFID tag reader.”

Now, Meizu better get ready as I predict that Apple will be suing them too very soon with this new iPhone 4 patent. I won’t be surprised if Apple also decides to sue other NAS builders with their Apple TV pattern.
