Apple began adding the Galaxy S4 to its ongoing patent-infringement case against Samsung last week, and it has now specified five patents which it believes the device is breaching. The Cupertino company has also taken aim at Google Now, which allegedly infringes its unified search patent.

HTC has reportedly lost a number of its staff amid rumors that the struggling smartphone manufacturer is in “utter freefall.”

Chief Product Officer Kouji Kodera, who was responsible for HTC’s overall product strategy, reportedly left the Taiwanese company last week, while its vice president of global communications, Jason Gordon, is leaving at the end of this week.

HTC told us back in March that Verizon wouldn’t be getting the HTC One, and that it would be offering a Butterfly successor instead. But it appears the Taiwanese company may have changed its mind.

According to a new rumor, Verizon will announce its own HTC One at CTIA later today, and it will be running the latest Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean operating system.

Now that Samsung’s Galaxy S4 launch is out of the way, phablet fans can look forward to the next-generation Galaxy Note. Speculation surrounding the device and its features has been rife in recent months, and that’s only going to increase as we near closer to the handset’s launch.

Especially when we see purported benchmarks of the device popping up online.

It took less than 60 minutes for HTC One “Google edition” rumors to begin circulating after Google announced the Galaxy S4 with stock Android at Google I/O last Wednesday. HTC was quick to dismiss those rumors and state that it had no plans for such a device, but according to one source, that’s false.

They claim an HTC One with stock Android is in the works, and that it’ll launch this summer.
